  1. 1. Transient state UV spectroscopy of Tyrosine and Tyrosine-containing protein

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Hongjian Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyrosine; Calmodulin; Autofluorescence; Transient-state monitoring; Electronic state transitions; Tyrosin; Calmodulin; Autofluorescens; Transient-tillståndsövervakning; Elektroniska tillståndsövergångar;

    Abstract : The aromatic amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine have been extensively used for different label-free protein studies. These investigations extract information on protein conformations and interactions from the emitted fluorescence's intensity, wavelength, and/or polarization. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 1-phenylethanol and C2 threitol derivatives as non-pyranose galactose-mimicking inhibitors of Galectin-3

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Qrystal Cruz Giron; [2023]
    Keywords : Galectin-3; Galectin-3 inhibitor; 1-phenylethanol; C2 threitol derivative; galactose-mimicking inhibitor; organic chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Galectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modulation of a model ligand-gated ion channel by amphetamine derivatives

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Emelia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; sTeLIC; electrophysiology; psychostimulants; amphetamine derivatives;

    Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels are critical mediators of electrochemical signal transduction in neurons and other excitable cells, causing them to be important targets of psychoactive drugs. Structural data for these complex proteins are limited, particularly among eukaryotic family members and for the functionally critical open state. READ MORE

  5. 4. Identification of de novo Transcription Factor Binding Motifs Created by Cancer-related Mutations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Siqi Li; [2022]
    Keywords : transcription factor binding motifs; funMotifs; PCAWG; mutations; de novo motifs;

    Abstract : In many countries, cancer is one of the biggest threats for citizens’ health, especially among aged people. Genomic mutations play a crucial role in cancer cell development. In previous decades, cancer research has been mainly focused on mutations in coding regions. READ MORE

  6. 5. How low levels of glucose and tryptophan may signal changes in development and symbiotic potential of ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysiologisk botanik

    Author : Alexandra Goetsch; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Symbiosis between tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi is a fundamental relationship that promotes the overall health of boreal and temperate forests. Nutrient exchange between the two organisms is mutualistic in nature however establishment of this relationship is still not fully understood. READ MORE
