  1. 1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 2. Detection and quantification of post-translational modifications in non-invasive samples : Phosphoproteins as biomarkers and a market analysis of protein quantification technologies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sammi Baudin; Hillevi Fjellström; Aron Kraft; Erica Lamberg; Måns Rosenbaum; Hanna Sjöstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Phorphorylation; Proteomics; Biomarkers; Phosphoproteins; PTM; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; Cancer; xMAP; SIMOA; NULISA; PEA; ELISA; Mass spectrometry; SomaScan;

    Abstract : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can be a sign and/or cause of disease. These modified proteins have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. However, research in the field is limited. READ MORE

  4. 3. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
    Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Acquired and lost structure-functions of non-enveloped and enveloped viruses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Diogo Filipe; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Viruses are biological entities that constantly affect the world around us and in many cases they can harm the health of humans and negatively impact food production, in agriculture andfisheries. The project concept is that, through the structural studies of viruses that infectsimple hosts, it is possible to point out structural features that are unique and conserved inviruses, that infect human, other animals, and crops, in the same phylogenetic lineage.

  6. 5. Role Of The EmaA Adhesin In Aggregatibacter aphrophilus Serum Resistance

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : wourod Shamoun; Amal Alhaddad; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT:  Background: Aggregatibacter aphrophilus is a Gram-negative bacterium that is considered to be highly virulent in endocarditis and cerebral abscesses but has low virulence when it comes to periodontitis. One important mechanism for the virulence of A. READ MORE
