Atmospheric Chemistry of Volatile Organic Compounds: Oxidation Products, Mechanisms and Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation
(2019-01-15)
The results from this work are a piece in understanding the complex puzzle of atmospheric
aerosol formation. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed by the oxidation
of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the atmosphere ...
Conformational Flexibility in Protein Function: Dynamics of S100A4, Photosynthetic Reaction Centre and the Prenylating Enzymes UbiA and MenA
(2014-09-11)
Proteins are the most versatile macromolecules and they are essentially involved in the biological processes throughout all living organisms. The three dimensional structure of proteins and their dynamical properties ...
On aging and the role of Ubp3 in heterochromatic gene silencing and protein quality control
(2014-09-04)
Aging is characterized by a build-up of damage in organisms ranging from protists to multi-cellular species. This damage adversely affects core components such as DNA and proteins which are necessary to sustain life. ...
Development of novel serotonin 5-HT6 and dopamine D2 receptor ligands and MAO A inhibitors - Synthesis, structure-activity relationships and pharmacological characterization
(2013-09-05)
It is known since the 1950s that enhancement of the levels of the monoamines dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) in the brain will relieve the symptoms of major depression, and ...
Structural Features of Bacteriophytochromes. Photoactivated Proteins studied by Serial Femtosecond Crystallography
(2018-03-22)
The key to life on earth is sunlight, which reaches the planet as an energy source.
Nature has evolved different types of photoreceptor proteins to detect optimal light
conditions for biochemical processes. A type of red ...
Electrochemical and microscopic analysis of chemical signalling in biological systems
(2019-10-01)
Cellular communication is a prerequisite in multicellular organisms in order to survive. Many times, this communication occurs through the highly controlled and regulated release of chemical signals through a process known ...
Adaptation and Protein Quality Control Under Metalloid Stress
(2015-04-22)
Toxic metals and metalloids are emerging as major environmental pollutants, having ecological consequences as well as being linked to a broad range of degenerative conditions in animals, plants and humans. While the toxicity ...
Nanoparticles from shipping and road traffic
(2015-05-07)
In the urban environment road traffic is the dominant source of aerosol particles while in
coastal and harbour areas shipping is also a significant source. For shipping there are no direct
regulations regarding particle ...
New single particle methods for detection and characterization of nanoparticles in environmental samples
(2013-11-28)
Nanoparticles (NP) are being used in rapidly increasing quantities which has resulted in concerns about possible harmful effects for health and environment. NP are already undergoing similar risk assessment programs as ...
Determine the developmental dynamics of primordial follicles in the mouse ovary
(2014-04-15)
Ovarian follicles are the basic functional units of the mammalian ovary. Progressive activation of primordial follicles serves as the source of fertilizable ova. In this thesis, by generating the Foxl2-CreERT2 and ...
