1. 1. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Dániel Mészáros; [2023]
   Keywords : Biobased materials; plasticized sodium alginate; water stability; extraction kinetics; enzyme carrier; Biobaserade material; Mjukgjort natriumalginat; Vattenstabilitet; extraktionskinetik; Enzymbärare;

   Abstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE

3. 2. Ligand-stimulated cleavage of PDGFR-beta

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Agni Karolina Tsiatsiou; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (α and β) are included in the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The dimeric PDGF ligands bind to the PDGF receptors and this results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, and thus activation. The autophosphorylated receptor dimer activates numerous signaling pathways. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterization of potato protein and its calcium binding capacity

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi; Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Signe König; Erika Thomson; [2023]

   Abstract : Calcium is essential for the human body as it has functions in the nervous system, bones and formation of teeth. Deficiency in this important nutrient can be detrimental to health and cause life-long issues. Calcium can be found in various foods, like dairy products, but certain plant-based alternatives to milk needs to be fortified with calcium. READ MORE

5. 4. The role of gap junctions in coordination of intercellular Ca2+ signaling

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Abstract : Calcium ions are one of the most versatile signalling molecules. They are essential tothe proper functioning of various cellular processes in many different types of cells.The calcium signals have been studied in the past using ratiometric dyes like Fura-2. READ MORE

6. 5. Synthesis of Fluorescent Analogues of FluoBar1 for Studying Protein Expression Rates in Living Cells

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Organisk kemi

   Author : Victor Hellgren; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : L-type voltage gated calcium channels are membrane bound ion channels that regulate the intracellular concentration of calcium ions as a response to changes in the membrane potential. They exist in four isoforms and recent studies have brought extra attention to the Cav1. READ MORE
