  1. 1. Identification of de novo Transcription Factor Binding Motifs Created by Cancer-related Mutations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Siqi Li; [2022]
    Keywords : transcription factor binding motifs; funMotifs; PCAWG; mutations; de novo motifs;

    Abstract : In many countries, cancer is one of the biggest threats for citizens’ health, especially among aged people. Genomic mutations play a crucial role in cancer cell development. In previous decades, cancer research has been mainly focused on mutations in coding regions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Thermostability investigation of Fatty Acid Binding Protein from Cataglyphis fortis by fluorescence spectroscopy using genetically introduced tryptophan residues

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Elin Röjdeby; [2011]
    Keywords : FABP; Fatty acid binding protein; fluorescence; Cataglyphis fortis; thermostability; mutant;

    Abstract : The desert ant Cataglyphis fortis is one of the hyperthermophilic species of Cataglyphis. It lives in the Sahara desert and forages during the hottest hours of the day when it can get up to 70˚C in the sand. The body temperature of the ant during the foraging runs can reach a maximum of 55˚C. Since C. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biophysical characterization of tryptophan mutants in carbonic anhydrase from Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Daniel Dunbring; [2007]
    Keywords : Carbonic Anhydrase; Neisseria Gonorrhoeae; Tryptophan Mutation; purification; Fluorescence; CO2 hydration;

    Abstract : In this project the aim has been to study the model protein carbonic anhydrase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium whose carbonic anhydrase has great similarities both structurally and functionally with the human form. By measuring and comparing the wild type of NGCA with mutants lacking one of the four tryptophan residues it can be seen what effect these tryptophans has on stability and activity and then compare with the known data of HCA II to learn more about their differences and similarities.
