Proteiner är stora biomolekyler som finns i alla levande organismer. De är uppbyggda av ett antal byggstenar, så kallade aminosyror med varierande egenskaper, och de utför många uppgifter som är essentiella för att liv skall kunna finnas. Hur proteiner interagerar med varandra och sin omgivning styr deras beteende vilket i sin tur är relaterat till deras funktion. Att förstå dessa interaktioner ärIn this work, lactoferrin was studied as a function of pH, starting at a low pH of 5.5 with 5 mM salt, in terms of interactions and dynamics with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS). Under these conditions lactoferrin was expected and found to have a strong electrostatic repulsion and behaved similar to an isotropic colloid. The glass transition w

Har du tänkt på att du behöver kissa oftare än vanligt när du har druckit öl? Eller när du druckit te eller kaffe? Detta beror på ett hormon som heter vasopressin och som produceras i hypofysen. Vassopressin är en slags signal till njurarna att återvinna mer vatten från urinen. Koffein och alkohol påverkar hypofysen så att den producerar mindre vasopressin vilket gör så att mer vatten hamnar i uriAquaporin 2 (AQP2) acts as a water channel in the apical membrane of principal renal cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney. Upregulation is controlled by stimulation of these cells with vasopressin. Downregulation of the presence of AQP2 in the membrane occurs through ubiquitination and then sorting of the protein via the ESCRT-I, -II and –III complexes into the Multivesicular bodies (MVBs).
