1. A Machine Learning Approach on Analysis of Emission Spectra for Application in XFEL Experiments
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : In this thesis we investigate two potential applications of machine learning in the context of X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of biological samples, particularly such using X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). We first investigate the possibility of using an emission spectrum, recorded from a sample after being probed by an incident X-ray, as a diagnostic tool. READ MORE

2. Acoustic Focusing of Lysozyme Crystals
University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikAbstract : Acoustic focusing of microscale protein crystals with acoustophoresis technology could reduce clogs during experiments with the scientific technique serial femtosecond x-ray crystallography (SFX). SFX determines molecular structures of proteins, these structures are valuable in drug discovery and fundamental biomedical research. READ MORE

3. Expression and purification of pyruvate transporting human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) protein complex for structural studies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologiAbstract : Pyruvate is one of the main molecules needed for the citric acid cycle, which produces energy in the form of ATP. The citric acid cycle reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for pyruvate to participate in the reaction, it needs to be transported from the cytosol across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondrial matrix.

4. Optical Detector for Microfluidics
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologiAbstract : This project arose from the need to filter the sampled data and eliminate non-useful information in Serial Crystallography in Microfluidic Device (MFD)by using a portable optical detector placed around the channel. By testing sixteen different configurations, always using an LED as a source and a photodiode as a light sensor, changes in the channel due to the passage of air bubbles were detected. READ MORE

5. Automating Water Orientation in Neutron Crystallography using Convolutional Neural Networks
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTHAbstract : One important aspect of determining the functionality of proteins is to find the direction of the dipole moment of surrounding water molecules. This is equivalent to finding the position of the hydrogen in water, however with the current atomistic model building tools this is a tedious and time-consuming task. READ MORE
