1. Optimizing cross-linking to study the interactions between AQP0 and CaM and AQP2 and LIP5
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenSammanfattning : Mammals express thirteen different isoforms of the membrane-bound water channel aquaporin in a tissue-dependent manner. From a medical point of view, two of the most studied isoforms are aquaporin (AQP0), also known as major intrinsic protein and aquaporin 2 (AQP2). LÄS MER
2. Production of gangliosidebiosynthetic membrane enzymes for biochemical and functionalstudies : Expression, purification and crystallizationoptimization of Thermococcus onnurineus Dolicho l-phosphate mannose synthase, Homosapiens and Branchiostoma floridae Glucosylceramide synthase
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Sammanfattning : Glycolipids play important roles in the biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including humans, and although theyare found on the cell-membrane surface of all eukaryotic cells, not much is known about their biosynthesis. The aim ofthis project was to characterize two enzymes: glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) which is involved in the biosynthesisof glycolipids such as gangliosides that are abundant in the membranes of nerve cells; and dolicholphosphate mannosesynthase (DPMS), involved in the synthesis precursor for protein glycosylation.

3. Insertion of transmembrane 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) into nanodiscs towards structure function studies of complex formation with soluble proteins
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)Sammanfattning : Leukotrienes are specialized lipid molecules derived from arachidonic acid that have severe pathological roles in inflammatory diseases like asthma, allergy and in the formation of cardiovascular diseases. Since these diseases can be fatal if not treated, it is significant to study leukotriene products and how they form. LÄS MER
4. Hydrogen production in Escherichia coli : Genetic engineering of the formate hydrogenlyase complex
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : Biofuels that are renewable and environmentally benign constitute an important area of research, as the supply of fossil fuels decreases and the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere increases. Biohydrogen is not as well explored as other biofuels, but its properties render it a promising complement, as it is clean and can be used directly in fuel cells to generate electricity, the only waste products being water and heat.

5. An Investigation of the Nano-Organization of Glucose Transporters, Glut1 and Glut3, in the Mammalian Plasma Membrane
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för vård och naturSammanfattning : Glucose is a monosaccharide and fuel for body, it cannot pass through membrane by simple diffusion so, integral transmembrane proteins named glucose transporters (Gluts) are involved in the regulation of the movement of glucose between the extracellular and intracellular spaces within the body. GLUT1 and GLUT3 have previously been shown by cold detergent extraction methods to reside in distinct plasma membrane domains in non-polarized mammalian cells, with GLUT1, but not GLUT3, residing in detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) domains.
