  1. 6. Genetics of complement proteins among Swedish newborns

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Xinyao Sun; [2022]
    Keywords : genetics; complement protein; newborns; haplotype analysis;

    Abstract : Complement proteins play an important role in the body's immune processes and involve in the pathology of many diseases in human, such as major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding the genetics of those proteins is an important step toward unraveling their effects on psychiatric disorders. READ MORE

  3. 7. The kinetic characterization of mutated cyanobacterial dual-functioning fructose/sedoheptulose bisphosphate using a malachite green colorimetric assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Albert Jousif Anis; [2021]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; carbon fixation; metabolic engineering; protein engineering; colorimetric enzyme assay; rational design; enzyme kinetics; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 8. Recombinant Food Proteins Expressed in E. coli as Complement to Plant Proteins in the Protein Shift

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Anthon Izad Khast Wellerfeld; [2021]
    Keywords : recombinant food proteins; protein shift; protein functionality; plant-based; meat analogs; dairy; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. READ MORE

  5. 9. Fragment-screening by X-ray crystallography of human vaccinia related kinase 1

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Yousif Ali Rashid Majid; [2020]
    Keywords : Fragment based drug discovery; X-ray crystallography; screening; vaccinia related kinase 1; crystal optimization; fragment library design; differential scanning fluorimetry; Sprint Bioscience;

    Abstract : Fragment-screening by X-ray crystallography (XFS) is an expensive and low throughput fragment drug discovery screening method, and it requires a lot of optimization for each protein target. The advantages with this screening method are that it is very sensitive, it directly gives the three-dimensional structure of the protein-fragment complexes, and false positives are rarely obtained.

  6. 10. Computational Methods for the structural and dynamical understanding of GPCR-RAMP interactions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Silvia Bahena; [2020]
    Keywords : Protein-protein interaction; coarse-grained; G protein-coupled receptors; receptor activity–modifying proteins;

    Abstract : Protein-protein interaction dominates all major biology processes in living cells. Recent studies suggestthat the surface expression and activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are the largestfamily of receptors in human cells, can be modulated by receptor activity–modifying proteins (RAMPs).
