  1. 6. Construction of a system for heterologous production of carbonic anhydrase from Plasmodium falciparum in Pichia pastoris

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Erik Gullberg; [2008]
    Keywords : Carbonic anhydrase; Plasmodium; Pichia pastoris; expression system;

    Abstract : Malaria is one of the biggest current global health problems, and with the increasing occurance of drug resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains, there is an urgent need for new antimalarial drugs. Given the important role of carbonic anhydrase in Plasmodium falciparum (PfCA), it is a potential novel drug target. READ MORE

  3. 7. Studies of Disulfide Bridge Formation in Human Carbonic Anhydrase Between Engineered Cysteines in Non Ideal Conformations Under Equilibrium and Kinetic Conditions

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Eric Morssing Vilén; [2007]
    Keywords : Disulfide bridge; cysteines; non ideal conformation; equilibrium conditions; kinetic conditions;

    Abstract : Stabilization of proteins is of great interest for the biotechnological society, industrial as well as research areas. Proteins with high stability are more suitable as reagents, easier to handle, store, transport and use in industrial processes. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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.
