Popular Abstract in Swedish Selen är ett essentiellt näringsämne som har många viktiga fysiologiska funktioner. Hos människor och djur utövar selen sin funktion bara om elementet är specifikt bundet i selenoproteiner som aminosyran selenocystein. Viktiga funktioner hos selenoproteiner är att verka som antioxidanter, upprätthålla redox-balansen i cellerna och reglera sköldkörtelhormonernas aktiviteSelenium is an essential nutrient and in animals and humans it can either be specifically incorporated into proteins as selenocysteine or randomly as selenomethionine. It can also occur as low-molecular-weight compounds and the form of selenium in foods may also influence food quality. The aims of the present studies were: to study selenium and other trace element compounds in milk and whey; to el

Contamination of soil and water by heavy metal ions (HMs) is a problem all over the world.The use of biological methods alone or in combination with other techniques for treatment of such polluted sites constitutes a major challenge. The present thesis summarizes work based on four basic technologies: 1) use of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRBs) for production of hydrogen sulphide which is used to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Enzymer är en nödvändig del av allt liv på jorden. De katalyserar en stor mängd biologiska reaktioner, som utan enzymer skulle vara mycket långsamma. Det är väl belagt att fastän enzymer är stora och har en komplicerad struktur är det bara en liten del av varje enzymmolekyl som tar del i den kemiska reaktion som enzymet katalyserar. Denna del av enzymet kallas dess aktiA number of homo- and heterodinuclear complexes have been synthesized as structural and functional models for the the active sites of phosphoesterases and soluble methane monooxygenases. The complexes are based on four new dinucleating ligands containing a central, potentially bridging, phenolate moiety. The hydrolytic activity of the complexes was examined by exploring the ability of the complexe

We often hear that rights talk pervades politics, law and morality, that rights have never played a more decisive role in the formation of local and global relations, that rights are used more frequently than ever before to debate and resolve social, legal and political disputes, that rights emerge out of attempts to deal with or prevent injustice, and that they can support strategies of emancipat
