1. Excitation and Excited State Properties of Heterocyclic Chromophores. Indole and Purine Derivatives of Biological Significance

University dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology

Abstract. Proteins and nucleic acids absorb light in the near-UV due to the presence of aromatic heterocyclic chromophores. In this work linear dichroism (LD) in combination with fluorescence polarization anisotropy (FPA) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is used to investigate electronic excitations and excited states of indole derivatives, purine derivatives, the wye base, 2-phenylindole and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).

2. Protein production and purification in structural genomics

University dissertation from Stockholm. KTH

Abstract. The number of gene products available for structural and functional study is increasing at an unprecedented rate as a result of the successful whole genome sequencing projects. Systematic structure determination of proteins on a genomic scale, called structural genomics, can significantly contribute to the field of protein science and to functional annotation of newly identified genes.

3. Apoptosis Regulation via the Mitochondrial Pathway Membrane Response upon Apoptotic Stimuli

University dissertation from Umeå. Kemi

Abstract. The aim of this thesis was the investigation of the mitochondrial response mechanisms upon apoptotic stimuli. The specific objectives were the biophysical characterization of membrane dynamics and the specific roles of lipids in the context of apoptotic regulation occurring at the mitochondrion and its complex membrane systems.

4. Transmission Electron Microscopy for Characterization of Structures, Interfaces and Magnetic Moments in Magnetic Thin Films and Multilayers

University dissertation from Uppsala. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis

Abstract. Structural characterization is essential for the understanding of the magnetic properties of thin films and multilayers. In this thesis, both crystalline and amorphous thin films and multilayers were analyzed utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM). READ MORE

5. Membrane mediated aggregation of amyloid-? protein a potential key event in Alzheimer’s disease

University dissertation from Umeå. Kemi

Abstract. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common senile dementia, is a complex process. A crucial event in AD is the aggregation of amyloid-? protein (A?), a cleavage product from the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). READ MORE
