  1. 6. Study of fibrillation processes of amyloid-like β-lactoglobulin protein

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Jose Nixon; [2021]
    Keywords : bLG; Thioflavin-T Fluroscence; Fibrillation; bLG; Thioflavin-T fluroscens; fibrillering;

    Abstract : Bovint β-laktoglobulinprotein (bLG) är ett litet globulärt protein med 162 aminosyrarester, som vanligtvis finns i mjölkvassle. Under sura förhällanden dissocierar dessa dimera proteiner och bildar amyloidliknande fibriller. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development of a porous material from cellulose nanofibrils

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

    Author : Hedda Törneman; [2021]
    Keywords : CNF; cellulose nanofibrils; xerogels; aerogels; cross-linking; porous materials; polymers;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanofibrils are a biobased and renewable material with potential to be used in many different applications. Such applications include air filtration, absorption of liquids, and thermal insulation.  To be used for these applications the cellulose nanofibrils must form a porous and dry material. READ MORE

  4. 8. Fluorescent molecules as probes for characterization of amyloid β fibrils

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

    Author : Denisse Marginean; Ebba Hellstrand; [2021]
    Keywords : Alzheimer s disease; amyloid beta; amyloid; fluorescent probes; fluorescent ligands;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the world and the World Health Organization has recognized AD as a global public health priority. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaques formed from amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils. Aβ is formed when amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by secretase enzymes. READ MORE

  5. 9. The anti-amyloidogenic chaperone DNAJB6 and its interaction with other chaperones

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik; Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Gemma Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : chaperones; DNAJB6; Hsc70; Hsp110; ATP-hydrolysis; Ab42; polyQ; biochemistry; biokemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In order to maintain proteins’ functionality their native folding state must be preserved. Chaperones fold other proteins and DNAJ-chaperones may collaborate with Hsc70 chaperones to prevent aggregation of aggregation-prone peptides such as polyQ and Aβ42, which form fibrils in currently incurable diseases as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s, respectively.

  6. 10. Property prediction of super-strong nanocellulose fibers

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

    Author : Maria Abada; Elin Fossum; Louise Brandt; Anton Åkesson; [2020]
    Keywords : Cellulose nanofibril CNF ; Spinning; Flow-stop; Flow-focusing; Mechanical properties; Carboxymethylation; TEMPO-oxidation;

    Abstract : The innovative technology behind production of strong biofilaments involves the process of spinning filaments from nanoparticles extracted from wood. These nanoparticles are called cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). READ MORE
