Antibodies are natural binding proteins produced in vertebrates as a response to invading pathogens and foreign substances. Because of their capability for tight and specific binding, antibodies have found use as binding ...

Measuring protein biomarkers from sample matrix, such as plasma, is one of the basic tasks in clinical diagnostics. Bioanalytical assays used for the measuring should be able to measure proteins with high sensitivity and ...

Photosynthetic reactions are divided in two parts: light-driven electron transfer reactions and carbon fixation reactions. Electron transfer reactions capture solar energy and split water molecules to form reducing energy ...

Protein engineering aims to improve the properties of enzymes and affinity reagents by genetic changes. Typical engineered properties are affinity, specificity, stability, expression, and solubility. Because proteins are ...

In oxygenic photosynthesis, the highly oxidizing reactions of water splitting produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other radicals that could damage the photosynthetic apparatus and affect cell viability. Under particular ...

The hen’s egg is a source of new life. Therefore, it contains many biologically active compounds. In addition to being a very nutritious food and also commonly used in the food industry due to its many techno-functional ...

Photosynthesis allows plants to store light energy in organic compounds. Plants have an efficient apparatus to harvest photons from sunlight and use the energy to split water and transport electrons to specific high-energy ...

Prostate cancer initially responds to hormone-based therapeutics such as anti-androgen treatment or chemotherapeutics but eventually becomes resistant. Novel treatment options are therefore urgently needed. This thesis ...

The Andean area of South America is a very important center for the domestication of food crops. This area is the botanical origin of potato, peanut and tomato. Less well- known crops, such as quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), ...
