Popular Abstract in Swedish Liksom du och jag, måste växter andas för att kunna leva. Med hjälp av luftens syre förbränns näring i form av bl a kolhydrater och fetter till koldioxid. Den energi som avges vid förbränningen omvandlas till ATP, som är cellens bränsle. Den huvudsakliga produktionen av ATP sker i den del av cellen som kallas mitokondrien, cellens kraftverk. Vän av ordning kliar sig nu In addition to proton-pumping complex I, the plant respiratory chain contains type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. These extra enzymes do not pump protons and consequently do not contribute to the electrochemical proton gradient. Database screening of the Arabidopsis genome identified seven type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase homologues of which two and four genes were closely related to potato (Solanum tube

Gesture-based interaction constitutes a new paradigm in human-machine interaction. The possibility to control a technical system with gestures on surfaces or in mid air makes it possible to design user interfaces that go beyond the WIMP paradigm (Windows Icons Menus and Pointers), the dominating interaction paradigm since the 1970's. After mainly having been of interest in the human-computer inter

Popular Abstract in Swedish På 70-talet upptäckte man att en grupp mikroorganismer, som man tidigare katalogiserat som bakterier, bildade en helt egen grupp. Dessa kallades ärkebakterier och fick senare namnet arkéer. Arkéer är små (ca 1 tusendels millimeter) encelliga organismer precis som bakterier, men de skiljer sig på många sätt från dem. Till exempel har de en kemiskt annorlunda uppbyggd celDuring the last decade it has been discovered that around 2% of the soil-living prokaryotes belong to the domain Archaea. In many soils the most abundant archaeal group is the ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) that, in addition to ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), preform the first and rate-limiting step in the nitrification process. The knowledge of factors that regulates the archaeal abundance and

Tapasin (tpn), an essential component of the MHC class I (MHC I) loading complex, has a canonical double lysine motif acting as a retrieval signal, which mediates retrograde transport of escaped endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins from the Golgi back to the ER. In this study, we mutated tpn with a substitution of the double lysine motif to double alanine (GFP-tpn-aa). This mutation abolished inter

The novel "Reflexer" (Reflections) is the first novel in Swedish literature with a transgender person as the main character. "Reflexer" is a coming-out-novel before the genre was invented and deals with both sexual and gender identities in the early 20th century Sweden. "Reflexer" can thematically be linked to our contemporary LGBTQ literature.
