  1. 1. Investigation on Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Immunoglobulin G Solutions

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Lovisa Jansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Protein; Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation; Microscopy; Light Scattering;

    Abstract : Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important phenomenon in soft condensed matter that explains many properties of membraneless organelles in living cells. The research on this topic is, therefore, a field with a wide range of applications such as biopharmacy and biomaterials. READ MORE

  3. 2. Competition between Phase Separation and Micellization in a Coarse-Grained Protein Model with Two Components

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fangxuan Lyu; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely believed to play a key role in the for- mation of intracellular biomolecular condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Furthermore, it has been shown in vitro that several IDPs are able to phase sepa- rate on their own. READ MORE

  4. 3. Crystallization, optimization, and crystal structure determination of ligands in complex with galectin-8N

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : George Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biochemistry; Structural Biochemistry; Galectin-8; Protein Crystallization; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the protein “galectin-8N” which is a lectin protein that takes part in several physiological functions such as inflammation, autophagy, cell migration, and more. The project has three objectives: to observe and increase the reproducibility of crystallization of two variants (wildtype and mutant) of the human protein galectin-8N and to analyze the binding site when three different novel ligands are each inserted.

  5. 4. Effect of the Cooling Rate and the Surface Film Composition on the Colloidal Stability of Whey Protein Based Emulsions of Triacylglycerols

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Charlotte Schüler; [2022]
    Keywords : Emulsion technology; Fat crystallization; Emulsified triglycerides; Colloid science; Food technology; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The goal of this project was to investigate the effect and interplay of formulation and processing parameters on the colloidal stability of emulsified triacylglycerols from a product quality perspective. Different methods to quantify and monitor this effect over time were evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effect of High-Pressure Homogenization and Heat Treatment on the Emulsification Properties of Oat Protein Concentrate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Annette Kägu; [2022]
    Keywords : oat proteins; high-pressure homogenisation; emulsions; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with an agricultural cooperative Lantmännen Oats AB, who has developed a dry protein powder concentrate PrOatein™. The powder consists of oat proteins, dextrins, lipids and β-glucans. READ MORE
