  1. 1. Green Protein Hydrogels and Non-dry Aerogels in Water Purification

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Emanuel Nelsson Vedung; Alexander Singh; Julia Wadefjord; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerogel; Hydrogel; Whey Protein Isolate; Water purification; Adsorption; Sustainability;

    Abstract : Having access to clean water is not a certainty for every human being. Today, there are major problems with polluted water that not just affect us humans, but also the ecosystem around us. In recent years, research into making aerogels from protein nanofibrils (PNF) has increased. READ MORE

  3. 2. The anti-amyloidogenic chaperone DNAJB6 and its interaction with other chaperones

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik; Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Gemma Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : chaperones; DNAJB6; Hsc70; Hsp110; ATP-hydrolysis; Ab42; polyQ; biochemistry; biokemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In order to maintain proteins’ functionality their native folding state must be preserved. Chaperones fold other proteins and DNAJ-chaperones may collaborate with Hsc70 chaperones to prevent aggregation of aggregation-prone peptides such as polyQ and Aβ42, which form fibrils in currently incurable diseases as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s, respectively.

  4. 3. Fluorescent fusion proteins as probes to characterize tau fibril polymorphism

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Max Lindberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease AD ; amyloids; FRET; tau; MAPT; fibrillation kinetics; seeding; fusion protein; EGFP; ECFP; EYFP; ThT; X-34; BTD14;

    Abstract : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a large and growing problem and while we today lack a full understanding of this disease, we know that the protein tau and the amyloid fibrils it forms play a central role in its development. We also know that these fibrils can have different morphologies in different diseases and that fibrils produced in vitro not necessarily adopt any of the morphologies found in patients. READ MORE

  5. 4. Studies of Aβ aggregation, toxicity and cellular uptake

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Chiara Beretta; [2016]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid-beta; fluorescence; cellular uptake; labeling;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia observed in the elderly. The symptoms of the disease are provoked by neuronal loss caused by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The molecular processes that underlie AD’s pathology are at this day not well understood. READ MORE

  6. 5. Anti-amyloidogenic effects of neurosteroids on amyloid-beta (Aβ) fibrils in vitro

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Hanin Saoud; [2014]
    Keywords : Alzheimer s disease; neurosteroids; Abeta toxicity;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease is affecting people all over the world at a growing rate. It is believed that a protein called amyloid-β is the cause of the symptoms of the disease. READ MORE
