Microcrystallization and structural studies of proteins by serial crystallography and x-ray scattering
(2023-09-20)Proteins are the most complex and versatile biomolecules known, with essential roles in all cellular and physiological processes. They constitute the main structural components of cells, catalyze most biochemical reactions, ... -
Phylogenetic Relationships, Biogeography and Species Delimitation: A case study on southern African Silene (Caryophyllaceae)
(2023-09-20)The primary aim of this thesis was to explore the phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography of African members of the plant genus Silene (Caryophyllaceae), with special focus on the eight native southern African ... -
Survivors of the Sea: Investigating the genomics and survival strategies of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi
(2023-09-14)Diatoms are an ecologically important group of phytoplankton, responsible for around 20% of global primary production. One of the features contributing to their success is their ability to form resting stages, a response ... -
Advanced methods for the calibration of optical tweezers
(2023-09-08)Optiska pincetter har sedan Arthur Ashkin och hans kollegors uppfinning på 1980-talet möjliggjort noggrann manipulation av mikroskopiska partiklar. Denna teknik har haft betydande inverkan inom flera områden, inklusive ... -
Emerging roles and functional mechanisms of dynein light chain DYNLRB2
(2023-09-08)Dyneins are a small class of molecular ATPase motors that generate force and movement on microtubules in a wealth of biological processes, including organelle distribution, cell division, ciliary and flagella beating, and ... -
Improving integration efficiency and precision of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing
(2023-09-07)The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) – CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has revolutionized the field of genome engineering, providing a cost-effective and fast tool for targeted ... -
Leaving dry land: Water, heritage and imaginary agency
(2023-09-01)This doctoral dissertation explores the interplay between water, heritage and the agency of the imagination. Instead of seeking how to map subjects or heritage, the research focuses on the ways in which mapping and the ... -
Structural studies of ba3-type cytochrome c oxidase using serial crystallography and X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(2023-08-29)Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyses the reduction of molecular oxygen to water while the energy released in this process is used transport protons “up-hill” across an energy transducing biological membrane, creating a ... -
Integrative physiology as a tool towards good animal welfare and sustainability in aquaculture: Focus on intestinal function and health
(2023-08-21)The human population is growing, and the world’s leaders are trying to provide humans with food resources and at the same time setting goals promoting sustainable food production. This means that we need to find new food ... -
Climate-associated human health effects
(2023-08-11)The intensifying impacts of climate change on human health represent a significant and pressing global health threat of the current century. This encompasses both short and long-term effects on human health, as well as ... -
Single cell carbon and nitrogen dynamics in chain forming diatoms, including their resting stage
(2023-08-10)The oceans are a fundamental part of all life on earth, accounting for more than half of Earth’s oxygen production. The ocean is also key to long term carbon dioxide sequestration. Diatoms are a group of phytoplankton ... -
Efficient training of interpretable, non-linear regression models
(2023-06-30)Regression, the process of estimating functions from data, comes in many flavors. One of the most commonly used regression models is linear regression, which is computationally efficient and easy to interpret, but lacks ... -
Membrane morphology and homeostasis: An electron microscopy approach
(2023-06-26)Biological membranes allow life as we know it to exist. Primarily assembled from lipids and proteins, their morphology and function can greatly vary between species or even within the same cell. They create physical ... -
Drivning av blomsterlök: Trädgårdshantverk på Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde
(Hantverkslaboratoriet, Göteborgs universitet Mariestad, 2023-06)Drivning av blomsterlök till snittblommor har pågått på Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde i Stockholm sedan 1901. Den småskaliga drivningen med sin långa historia saknar motsvarighet i landet. Waldemarsuddes chefsträdgårdsmästare ... -
The mechanical Paul trap in the upper secondary physics laboratory
(2023)In physics, toy models are often used in popular science contexts. Further, toy models have also been used to communicate some important principles of abstract phenomena qualitatively. One such example can be found in ... -
Revealing functional details of the mitochondrial Lon Protease by NMR spectroscopy
(2023-05-11)Det mänskliga Lon-proteinkomplexet är ett ATP-beroende proteas som finns i den mitokondriella matrisen. Lon-proteinet är en produkt av den kärnkodade genen LONP1 och spelar en avgörande roll i underhåll och reparation ... -
Correlative Chemical Imaging of Nanoscale Subcellular Structures
(2023-05-10)Chemical imaging can elucidate complex mechanisms, relationships, and components of biological samples. For example, it can reveal properties such as chemical composition, chemical structure, reactivity, and topography. ... -
Towards an improved understanding of precipitation variations over the Tibetan Plateau
(2023-05-09)The Tibetan Plateau (TP) and surrounding regions are known as the ``Third Pole'' because of their polar-like environment and large reservoirs of fresh water. Due to the latter aspect, the TP is also considered the ``Water ... -
