  1. 1. Determining Protein Conformational Ensembles by Combining Machine Learning and SAXS

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Samuel Eriksson Lidbrink; [2023]
    Keywords : AlphaFold; AlphaFold2; SAXS; protein conformational ensembles; machine learning; protein conformations; reweighting; SAXS; AlphaFold; AlphaFold2; proteinkonformationsensembler; maskininlärning; proteinkonformationer; omviktning;

    Abstract : In structural biology, immense effort has been put into discovering functionally relevant atomic resolution protein structures. Still, most experimental, computational and machine learning-based methods alone struggle to capture all the functionally relevant states of many proteins without very involved and system-specific techniques.

  3. 2. Approaches to Structural Characterization of a Heteromeric GABA(A)R

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Alexander Stevens; [2023]
    Keywords : Applied Physics; Biophysics; Molecular Biophysics; GABA A R; LGIC; pLGIC; Tillämpad Fysik; Biofysik; Molekylär Biofysik; GABA A R; LGIC; pLGIC;

    Abstract : Structural biology has become an important part of researching various diseases and drug development. In this thesis, I provide details on how I worked with approaches to structural characterization of a heteromeric GABA(A)R. READ MORE

  4. 3. The influence of differentially expressed Nicotina tabacum Rubisco small subunit on holoenzyme structure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Frida Boström; [2022]
    Keywords : Strukturbiologi; Rubisco; Cryo-EM;

    Abstract : Characterization of Rubisco plays a crucial role when it comes to the development and understanding of carbon sequestration in plants. This project took place at BMC in Uppsala, in the Gunn lab, and aimed to structure three Rubisco structures and analyze these with regard to the assembly pathway of the biogenesis of Rubisco but also how fast the reaction of binding of atmospheric carbon dioxide takes place with regard to different isoforms of the small subunit.

  5. 4. Modulation of a model ligand-gated ion channel by amphetamine derivatives

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Emelia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; sTeLIC; electrophysiology; psychostimulants; amphetamine derivatives;

    Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels are critical mediators of electrochemical signal transduction in neurons and other excitable cells, causing them to be important targets of psychoactive drugs. Structural data for these complex proteins are limited, particularly among eukaryotic family members and for the functionally critical open state. READ MORE

  6. 5. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Louise Fitkin; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE
