  1. 1. Investigation of the function of the SH3-like domain of the Saccharopolyspora erythraea iron-dependent regulator

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Carita Hammar; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea is utilized to produce the widely used antibiotic erythromycin. With the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance, the development of derivatives of the drug is of great importance. To produce antibiotics biosynthetically, it is crucial to understand the metabolic pathways utilized by the bacterium. READ MORE

  3. 2. Understanding the Involvement of Leukocyte Cell-derived Chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) in Amyloidosis

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

    Author : Lisa-Marie Erlandsson; [2019]
    Keywords : LECT2 amyloidosis; disulfide bonds; metal-binding; protein expression; refolding; purification; fluorimetry; CD; aggregation;

    Abstract : Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a zinc-binding multi-functional protein comprising three disulfide bonds, that is involved in multiple disorders of worldwide concern. Recently LECT2 was found to be involved in amyloidosis (ALECT2) and is believed to be the third most common form of systemic amyloidosis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Purification of Violaxanthin De-epoxidase expressed in E.Coli and identification of disulfide bonds using MS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Erik Hallin; [2009]
    Keywords : Biokemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Plants need light to convert earbon dioxide to organic compounds, but when exposed to too much light the photosynthetic machinery takes damage. This is prevented by conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, which participate in a process that converts the excess light into heat. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization of two Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases from Thermophilic Organisms Pyrococcus furiosus and Aquifex aeolicus : Characterization of two Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases

    University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

    Author : Karin Fürtenbach; [2008]
    Keywords : PDO; protein disulfide oxidoreductase; Pyrococcus furiosus; Aquifex aeolicus; disulfide;

    Abstract : Members of the thioredoxin superfamily of proteins catalyze disulfide bond reduction and oxidation using the active site C-X-X-C sequence. In hyperthermophilic organisms, cysteine side chains were expected in low abundance since they were not believed to endure the high temperatures under which they grow. READ MORE

  6. 5. Cloning, overexpression and biophysical characterization of grd/grl/wrt domains from Caenorhabditis elegans in Escherichia coli

    University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

    Author : Marie Lindberg; [2008]
    Keywords : groundhog; warthog; ground-like; disulfide;

    Abstract : Hedgehog related genes have been shown to play a major role in development in all deuterostomes. In C.elegans, such genes have been found where the similarity is restricted to the C-terminal domain. This work has focused on the hedgehog related C. READ MORE
