  1. 1. Engineered imaging scaffolds for cryo-EM of small proteins of interest

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Oscar Friberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Protein structure determination; single-particle cryo-EM; imaging scaffold; size limitation problem; affibody; YgjG.;

    Abstract : Strukturbestämning av proteiner är viktigt för att kunna förstå deras funktion och en snabbt utvecklande metod inom fältet är kryoelektronmikroskopi. Storleksbegränsningar förhindrar en bredare applikation av metoden eftersom små proteiner har för låg signal i förhållande till bakgrund för att kunna visualiseras som enstaka partiklar i elektronmiksoskopibilder.

  3. 2. Toward prototyping metabolic pathways in cyanobacteria using cell extracts

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Amina Bensabra; [2022]
    Keywords : cyanobacteria; metabolic engineering; cell-free metabolic engineering; enzymes; sustainability; cyanobakterier; metabolisk genteknik; syntetisk biologi; enzymer; hållbar bioproduktion;

    Abstract : Cyanobakterier är intressanta mikroorganismer för produktion av biobränslen från solljus, vatten och atmosfärisk koldioxid och anses därför vara potentiella mikrobiella cellfabriker. Men på grund av långsam tillväxt och låg produktion är genteknologi processen intensiv och tidskrävande för cyanobakterier. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of strategies for construction of protease libraries in yeast.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Sidharth Jaya Sankar; [2022]
    Keywords : Yeast; GFP-fusion technology; protease; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Proteases are a group of enzymes that are involved in breaking down larger proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and they are used in various applications. In this project, the potential of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as host for the construction of protease libraries is evaluated. READ MORE

  5. 4. Formulation development of a recombinant VAR2-antiCD3 protein for cancer immunotherapy

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

    Author : Maja Warlin; Frida Hallberg; [2021]
    Keywords : immunotherapy; cancer; pharmaceuticals; proteins; analytical techniques; molecular biotechnology; formulation; life science; engineering; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The use of immunotherapy for treating cancer has received a lot of attention in the recent years. The therapy is based on activating or deactivating the patient’s own immune system to help fight the disease. One way of doing this, is using bispecific molecules that can target both cancer cells and T-cells simultaneously. READ MORE

  6. 5. Search for the Argonaute protein that governs miRNA regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Miranda Åström; [2021]
    Keywords : Argonaute proteins; RNA interference; miRNA; 3xFLAG-tag;

    Abstract : MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through RNA interference. These small RNAs enact gene silencing by forming a RNA-inducing silencing complex together with the effector protein Argonaute. The function of the Argonautes in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is not yet fully understood. READ MORE
