  1. 1. Mercury and methyl mercury release in soil and water - their relationship with different properties in Skogaryd

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Linnéa Johansson; [2020-07-08]
    Keywords : mercury; methylmercury; demethylation; pH; dissolved oxygen and total organic content;

    Abstract : In Skogaryd research site, water samples were taken and analysed for total mercury (Hgtot) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration along with the pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and total organic content (TOC). This to give the condition of the site before the forest is clear-cute and a part of the land rewetted to a wetland. READ MORE

  3. 2. The impact of CRISPR/Cas9 generated mutations in pioneer transcription factors FOXA1 and GATA3 on oestrogen receptor function

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Miroslav Bobrik; [2018]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and two thirds of all breast cancers are classified as oestrogen receptor positive. ER is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression and promote cell proliferation that is critical in mammary gland development, and its aberrant activity is commonly present in breast cancer.

  4. 3. Synthesis and Characterization of Acrylfentanyl Metabolites

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Maria Alfredsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Acrylfentanyl; Metabolite; Synthesis;

    Abstract : Acrylfentanyl is a synthetic opioid that has been widely used in the last year. To help in the fight against synthetic drugs two potential metabolites of acrylfentanyl, one monohydroxy and one dihydroxy were synthesized. READ MORE

  5. 4. Chemical methods to increase the reactivity  of lignin : In the context of green chemistry  and education for sustainable development

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskaplig kommunikation och lärande (ECE)

    Author : Erica Birgersson; [2015]
    Keywords : Biomaterial; lignin reactivity; thiol mediated demethylation; iodine mediated demethylation; green chemistry; SNl-fall.; Biomaterial; lignin reaktivitet; tiol medierad demetylering; jod medierad demetylering; gron kemi; SNI-fall;

    Abstract : The research  concerning lignin in high value applications has increased  during the last years due to its renewability and availability in the black liquor from pulp mills. Today  the major part of kraft lignin found  in the black liquor is used as fuel to gain energy  in the recovery boiler. READ MORE

  6. 5. Computational studies on DNA: insights into structure and dynamics

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Charan Raju Kanna; [2015]
    Keywords : epigenetic modifications; DNA methylation; G-rich sequence; uracil; molecular dynamics; demethylation;

    Abstract : The best-characterized epigenetic modification is DNA methylation, which was found to shape significantly gene expression in mammalian cells, though bacteria and plants display less sequence specificity. The cytosine methylation of DNA sequence here was studied by the molecular dynamic (MD) method. READ MORE
