1. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. LÄS MER
2. Towards time-resolved cryo-EM of SARS-CoV-2 replication-transcription complex and Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : Time-resolved cryo-EM has already provided ground-breaking discoveries in various fields, including structural biology, biochemistry, and drug development. Compared to traditional structural biology methods where mostly stabilized conformations are reconstructed, the main advantage of time-resolved cryo-EM is its ability to capture dynamic processes in biological samples at near-atomic resolution, which allows for studying biological structures as they change and interact in real-time.

3. Approaches to Structural Characterization of a Heteromeric GABA(A)R
Master-uppsats, KTH/Tillämpad fysikSammanfattning : Structural biology has become an important part of researching various diseases and drug development. In this thesis, I provide details on how I worked with approaches to structural characterization of a heteromeric GABA(A)R. LÄS MER
4. Expression and purification of pyruvate transporting human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) protein complex for structural studies
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologiSammanfattning : Pyruvate is one of the main molecules needed for the citric acid cycle, which produces energy in the form of ATP. The citric acid cycle reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for pyruvate to participate in the reaction, it needs to be transported from the cytosol across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondrial matrix.

5. Engineered imaging scaffolds for cryo-EM of small proteins of interest
Master-uppsats, KTH/ProteinvetenskapSammanfattning : Strukturbestämning av proteiner är viktigt för att kunna förstå deras funktion och en snabbt utvecklande metod inom fältet är kryoelektronmikroskopi. Storleksbegränsningar förhindrar en bredare applikation av metoden eftersom små proteiner har för låg signal i förhållande till bakgrund för att kunna visualiseras som enstaka partiklar i elektronmiksoskopibilder.
