1. 1. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
   Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

3. 2. Heterologous expression and purification of Nicotiana benthamiana Cellulose synthase-like B (NbCslB)

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

   Author : Olivia Ståhl; [2020]
   Keywords : Biotechnology; Cellulose Synthase-Like B; Glycoscience; Glycosyltransferase; Hemicellulose; Nicotiana benthamiana; Bioteknik; Cellulosasyntasliknande B; Glykosyltransferas; Glykovetenskap; Hemicellulosa; Nicotiana benthamiana;

   Abstract : Hemicelluloses are synthesized by proteins encoded by genes from the cellulose synthasegene superfamily. One subgroup of this gene family is the cellulose synthase-like B, which islargely uncharacterized and unexplored. The common model organism Nicotianabenthamiana has one such gene in its genome, NbCslB, encoding a membrane protein. READ MORE
