1. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. READ MORE

2. A novel approach for functionalising and separating Tröger's Base Analogues
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : Tröger’s Base (TB) is a bicyclic compound containing a methanodiazocine group between two aromatic rings. The methylene bridge forces the molecule to have a bent formation; thus, the aromatic rings are close to 90 degrees relative to each other, resulting in a rigid concave aromatic cavity. READ MORE

3. Exploring a unique pocket in Galectin-8N by the synthesis of D-galactoside-based benzimidazole inhibitors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. READ MORE

4. Effects of soil factors on pioneer bryophyte species composition
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiAbstract : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.

5. Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 1-phenylethanol and C2 threitol derivatives as non-pyranose galactose-mimicking inhibitors of Galectin-3
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : Galectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. READ MORE
