  1. 11. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Vladimir Novakovic; [2023]
    Keywords : Mitilysin; Mly; Structural Biology; Cryo-EM; pore; toxin; pore forming proteins; pore forming toxins; PFP; PFT;

    Abstract : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. READ MORE

  6. 15. Methods to study device induced aggregation of proteins

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

    Author : Marie Therese von Wowern; [2023]
    Keywords : protein formulation; protein aggregation; insulin; silicone oil; syringe; shear stress; subvisible particle; size exclusion chromatography; flow imaging microscopy; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This work developed a method for the investigation of how medical devices, such as syringes and needles, affect the formation of subvisible particles in a protein drug without excipients. Protein-based pharmaceuticals are well known to be sensitive to different kinds of stress, and exposure to stress during the use of this device is unavoidable. READ MORE
