  1. 1. Design and Evaluation of Peptide Binders : In silico evaluation and comparison of generative AI for de novo peptide binder design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och bioinformatik

    Author : Linde Brokmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Protein design; de novo design; protein engineering; generative ai; machine learning; peptide binders; AF2; EvoBind; RFdiffusion; ProteinMPNN;

    Abstract : Peptide binders are short proteins that bind to larger proteins. Due to peptide binders having high specificity and being cheap to synthesize, they are a prime candidate for drug design. Creating new proteins in silico can be divided into three steps: protein backbone generation, sequence design, and computational filtering. READ MORE

  2. 2. Mass Spectrometric Virus Detection with Multiplex Assay

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Augustinsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Multiplex assay; Binder; Antigen; Cloning; Pull-down assay; Targeted detection; Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Syftet med projektet var att utveckla en multiplexanalys för att detektera antigen från SARS-CoV-2, influensa och respiratoriskt syncytial virus genom att använda en masspektrometrisk metod som involverar antigenspecifika bindare. Bindarna klonades, renades och biotinylerades innan de användes i en analys utvecklad genom en målinriktad metod som involverade antigenerna. READ MORE

  3. 3. Biophysical characterization of and screening for binders and potentiator compounds that modulate the binding of PDZ domains to the C-terminal peptide motifs of target proteins

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Carl Olsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Post synaptic density protein 95; PDZ-domains; N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor; NMDAR hypofunctional hypothesis; GluN2b; Differential scanning fluorimetry; Surface plasmon resonance; Fragment based drug design; Assay development;

    Abstract : The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunctional hypothesis is believed to explain one of the contributing factors to schizophrenia. This hypothesis suggests the dysregulation of NMDAR, a protein responsible for receiving signals from the synapses between neurons, is the cause of some of the symptoms seen in schizophrenia.
