  1. 1. Prediction of multiple conformational states of membrane proteins

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Bioinformatik

    Author : Tobias Thorén; [2024]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Protein prediction; AlphaFold;

    Abstract : Predicting protein structures has long been an area of active research in the field ofbioinformatics. Great strides have recently been made in this area by googles DeepMindteam. They developed an AI called AlphaFold which is able to make the most accuratepredictions of protein structures as of date. READ MORE

    Abstract : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. READ MORE

  4. 3. Concentration of Proteins and Decrease of Salt Content in a Hydrolyzed Fermentation Broth Using Membrane Filtration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnea Sjökvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Membrane filtration; ultrafiltration; PHA; polyhydroxyalkanoates; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Membrane filtration was used to concentrate proteins and decrease the salt concentration in a hydrolyzed fermentation broth. The broth was a by-product from the bacterial production and extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), that can be used to produce biobased plastics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
    Keywords : Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

    Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Overview Of The Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Of Common Gram Positive And Gram Negative Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Elisabeth Tammi; [2023]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance mechanism; gram negative bacteria; gram positive bacteria;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance in multidrug resistant bacteria cause high mortality rates worldwide, where there has been over 1,000,000 deaths reported as of the year 2019. Antibiotics were thought to be the cure for fighting infectious diseases and preventing further spreading of infection. READ MORE
