  1. 21. Dependence on pH of Structural and Dynamical Changes of a Calmodulin Domain Mutant

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : David Rydberg; [2015]
    Keywords : Calmodulin; CaM-TR2C E140Q; protein dynamics; nuclear magnetic resonance; R1ρ;

    Abstract : Calmodulin (CaM) is a highly conserved protein able to bind Ca2+. When Ca2+ is bound the protein can bind and activate further proteins with several individual functions. CaM switches to a more open conformation when Ca2+-bound and is able to do so at a high rate. Little is known about the conformational switches between apo and Ca2+-bound states. READ MORE

  3. 22. Characterization of antibodies specific for amyloid proteins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Andrine Skullerud; [2015]
    Keywords : Amyloidosis; Congo red; Immunohistochemistry; Polarizing microscope; Slot blot;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of diseases caused by proteins that have lost their correct three-dimensional conformation and instead assemble into insoluble fibrils in various tissues and organs. Today, more than 30 different proteins that can give rise to amyloid fibrils have been identified. READ MORE

  4. 23. Computational studies on DNA: insights into structure and dynamics

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Charan Raju Kanna; [2015]
    Keywords : epigenetic modifications; DNA methylation; G-rich sequence; uracil; molecular dynamics; demethylation;

    Abstract : The best-characterized epigenetic modification is DNA methylation, which was found to shape significantly gene expression in mammalian cells, though bacteria and plants display less sequence specificity. The cytosine methylation of DNA sequence here was studied by the molecular dynamic (MD) method. READ MORE

  5. 24. What traits make Swedish dairy cows survive?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Caroline Bengtsson; [2011]
    Keywords : dairy cow; longevity; breeding evaluation; production; conformation;

    Abstract : The ability of dairy cows to survive and the economic importance of this have been in-creasing in dairy cattle breeding lately. Increased longevity contribute to an increased pro-portion of cows that produce milk in more productive lactations and reduces the replace-ment costs together with a good health and fertility.

  6. 25. Prion infection of ovine cell culture with a natural Swedish scrapie isolate from 1986

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Viktor Ahlberg; [2010]
    Keywords : scrapie; sheep; prion; cell culture; western blot; proteinase K; bovine leukemia virus;

    Abstract : Scrapie is an infectious neurologic disease in sheep caused by prions, corresponding to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in other species. The prion is presumably constituted of PrPSc, the misfolded form of the normal endogenous prion protein, PrPC, which is found in practically all cells in the body. READ MORE
