  1. 1. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Dániel Mészáros; [2023]
    Keywords : Biobased materials; plasticized sodium alginate; water stability; extraction kinetics; enzyme carrier; Biobaserade material; Mjukgjort natriumalginat; Vattenstabilitet; extraktionskinetik; Enzymbärare;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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. 3. Process simulation of HMF production from wheat bran and sugar beet pulp

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Matilda Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; Wheat bran; Sugar beet pulp; Process simulation; Aspen Plus; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biochemical characterization of resurrected ancestral ammonia lyases

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Albin Holmberg Larsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Ancestral sequence resurrection; Inborn errors of metabolism; Aromatic ammonia lyases; Enzyme kinetics; Thermostability;

    Abstract : This study set out to express, purify and characterize twelve ammonia lyase enzymes for potential application as a supplement to a treatment of an inborn error of metabolism disease. The DNA sequence for two wild-type ammonia lyases, three modified ammonia lyases and seven resurrected ancestral ammonia lyases had been synthesized and cloned in vectors. READ MORE

  6. 5. Kinetic studies of carrier conjugated protease inhibitors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Enrique Argenis López Olvera; [2019]
    Keywords : Proteases inhibitors; bioconjugates; enzyme kinetics; inhibition;

    Abstract : Conjugates of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) and potato serine protease inhibitor (PSPI) immobilized on metal oxide particles of ~100nm diameter were prepared. Inhibition of trypsin hydrolysis of BAPA by these conjugates was measured and enzyme kinetics constants kcat, KM, kcat/KM and ki were determined. READ MORE
