  1. 1. Crystallization, optimization, and crystal structure determination of ligands in complex with galectin-8N

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : George Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biochemistry; Structural Biochemistry; Galectin-8; Protein Crystallization; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the protein “galectin-8N” which is a lectin protein that takes part in several physiological functions such as inflammation, autophagy, cell migration, and more. The project has three objectives: to observe and increase the reproducibility of crystallization of two variants (wildtype and mutant) of the human protein galectin-8N and to analyze the binding site when three different novel ligands are each inserted.

  3. 2. Comparison of Lectins and their suitability in Lectin Affinity Chromatography for isolation of Glycoproteins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Pontus Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : biotechnology; lectins; chromatography; glycoproteins; lectin affinity chromatography; LAC; ConA; Concanavalin A; bioteknik; lektiner; kromatografi; affinitetskromatografi; glykoproteiner; ConA; Concanavalin A;

    Abstract : Virtually all extracellular proteins in humans are glycoproteins and likewise are many biopharmaceuticals. The glycosylation is directly correlated to biological function and stability of these proteins. The ability to isolate glycoproteins is thus of great importance in many applications. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization and standardization of a novel method combining capillary electrophoresis and immunoblotting for the detection of the lectin pathway proteins.

    University essay from

    Author : Leila Farhat; [2017]
    Keywords : Collectin; Ficolin; MASP; MBL; WES;

    Abstract : The complement system is a part of the innate immunity. Its function is to eliminate pathogens, by proteins interacting directly with pathogen surfaces and promoting a pro-inflammatory and anti-microbial environment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Can sugar be good for your oral health? Correlations between caries and levels of bound monosaccharides in whole saliva

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Odontologiska fakulteten (OD)

    Author : Hanna Vikström; Kosovare Shala; [2017]
    Keywords : odontology; caries; caries indicator; monosaccharide; sialic acid; galactose; fucose; Saliva; plaque; enzyme activity; glycosidases; Salivary flow; correlation; caries free; s. mutans; streptococcus mutans; oral health; enzyme-linked lectin-assay; ELLA; fluoroscens;

    Abstract : Introduktion och syfte: Kariesutveckling influeras av faktorer hos både värd och bakterier. Men när olika individer exponeras för samma nivåer av externa riskfaktorer, är en del individer mer mottagliga för karies jämfört med andra. En förklaring skulle kunna vara olika glykosylering av glykoprotein i saliven. READ MORE

  6. 5. Antinutritionella substanser iåkerböna, ärter och blålupin vidutfodring till mjölkkor

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management
