Disruption of ompT in Escherichia coli using phage λ Red recombinase

Spelar enzymerna verkligen någon roll? Bakterien Escherichia coli, mer känd som E. coli är till stor hjälp vid många processer för produktion av proteiner. E. colis inre maskinerier kan utnyttjas för att producera proteiner som vi människor behöver. Produktion av proteiner med E. coli är viktig för att kunna producera vissa läkemedel; till exempel proteinet insulin. Insulin är ovärderligt för de

Differences in how Neural Investment could correlate to behavior across Insect Species

Size doesn't always matter - Especially when it comes to the brain of a Butterfly or a Moth Surely, we have have all seen those cartoons, where the smart scientist have a ridiculously big brain, “the bigger the better” as the saying goes. Well this is not always the case, brain tissue is actually one of the bodies biggest energy consumer, so if you are not using every bit of that brain, it w

Water assisted CO intercalation underneath Ir(111) supported graphene studied with scanning tunneling microscopy

Graphene have attracted attention recently due to its unique properties and opportunities for development of high performance carbon based devices. The intercalation, absorption and reactions processes of small molecules above and below the graphene islands hold the key for new perspectives in catalysis, molecular sensors and other technologies. The present master thesis is focused on the investig

A Search for Neonicotinoid Binding Sites in the Optic Lobes of Honeybees and Blowflies

Neonicotinoid insecticides are agonists to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brains of insects. At sub-lethal doses these chemicals cause behavioral abnormalities in several bee species, reducing overall fitness. nAChRs expressed in the optic lobes of insects bind neonicotinoids, thus may be involved in these behavioral changes. Here we attempted without success to visualize the pr

The role of a small Ras-like GTPase and the cvn conservons in polar growth in Streptomyces venezuelae

Polär tillväxt i antibiotikaproducerande bakterier Bakterier som tillhör släktet Streptomyces är jordlevande bakterier som är kända för att producera antibiotika av olika slag, samt att de ger jorden dess karaktäristiska doft. Deras syntes av olika antibiotika är av stor betydelse för vårt samhälle och den är kopplad till deras tillväxtstadie. Det är därför av intresse att försöka skapa en bättre

Escherichia coli, en proteinfabrik - Uttryck av rekombinanta proteiner i E. coli stammar som saknar proteaserna Lon och OmpT

Escherichia coli, en proteinfabrik Under de senaste åren har det skett en stor utveckling av system för produktion av rekombinanta proteiner i mikroorganismer. Detta har stor betydelse för dess användning till exempel inom läkemedelsindustrin. Ett rekombinant protein kodas av rekombinant DNA, vilket skapas när DNA från olika organismer sammanfogas till exempel när man sätter in en gen från en art

Wind as an orientation cue in dung beetles

Baggar, vind och en massa skit Efter att ha hittat en dynghög så börjar den sydafrikanska dyngbaggen Scarabaeus lamarcki konstruera en boll. Till skillnad från dig och mig så älskar dessa baggar dynga, och bollens slutdestination är baggens mage. Innan dyngbaggen kan hugga in så måste den ta sig bort från dynghögen och den ökande konkurrensen. Det snabbaste sättet att komma ifrån högen med alla a

Uttryck av AMBP i E.coli

Oxidativ stress i celler är en bakomliggande faktor till många dödliga sjukdomar. Detta kan kroppen reglera till en viss del med olika proteiner. Ett av proteinerna är Alfa-1-mikroglobulin (A1M) som kan sänka oxidativ stress i kroppen genom att t.ex binda till fria radikaler och bidra till vävnadsreperation. A1M transkriberas tillsammans med ett annat protein, bikunin, som har anti-inflammatoriska

Searching for interaction partners for the Streptomyces venezuelae FilP protein using a bacterial two-hybrid system

A system for detecting protein-protein interaction using a bacterial two-hybrid approach, a heterologous expression system in Escherichia coli strain based on adenylate cyclase enzyme reconstitution, was invented twenty years ago (Karimova, et al., 1998, PNAS, 95:5752). Before inventing this system, yeast two-hybrid technology was used for screening putative interaction between either two proteins

Polymorphism and Expression of CD36 and IRAK3 in Bank Voles

Kan sorkar med mutationer slippa undan infektioner? Sjukdomar är ett av de största hoten som alla levande varelser kan utsättas för. Lyckligtvis har alla djur ett immunförsvar som försöker bekämpa dessa sjukdomar. Detta försvar består av många komponenter vars ritningar finns nedskrivna i DNA. Mutationer, som förändrar DNA, kan leda till olika variationer av en gen, och olika varianter kan påverk

Vehicle Counting using Video Metadata

The current field of object detection and image recognition is huge but not without complications. Processing large amounts of high resolution videos needs powerful hardware and also risks breaching the privacy of those who are recorded. In times of increasing demand for decentralized solutions and stricter privacy protection regulations being put in place a new approach is needed. We present an

Bananpiren genom olika skalor

Bananpiren means the Banana pier and the name is a remnant from when ships full of bananas unloaded by the docks. The last banana ship left the wharf in the year of 2000 and since then the pier has mainly been used for different types of temporary events. Apart from when those are held, the pier is abandon with only one sheet shed still standing, as a glimpse of the piers former past as a freeport

Det offentliga konstlandskapet

I denna uppsats ser vi vad som händer när en statlig myndighet som ansvarar för utformning av offentlig miljö implementerar en så kallad liberal demokratiteori. Statens konstråd, som är en myndighet med stor inverkan på den offentliga konsten i Sverige, inledde 2012 ett nytt arbetssätt att föra ut konceptuell och samtida konst från institutioner och gallerier till det offentliga rummet. Deras syn In this essay we see what happens when a government authority which is responsible for designing public space implements a so-called liberal democracy theory. The public art agency of Sweden, a government authority with a big impact on the public art in Sweden, started in 2012 a new approach to bring out conceptual, and contemporary art to the public realm. Their view on art is that it should ques
