Composition and phosphorylation-dependent functional interactions of thylakoid protein complexes in Arabidopsis
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-06-15)
In higher plants the thylakoid embedded pigment-protein complexes, photosystem (PS) I and PSII together with their respective light harvesting complex (LHC) antennas work in series to harvest solar energy and convert it ...
Translocation mechanism of the multisubunit RNA polymerase
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-06-08)
The expression and replication of genetic information forms the basis of life. The first step of gene expression, the transcription of DNA into RNA, is carried out in all organisms by multisubunit RNA polymerase enzymes ...
Interplay between adenosine receptors and adenosine deaminases
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-05-25)
Adenosine deaminases (ADAs) are key enzymes involved in purine metabolism and immune system. Human have two distinct adenosine deaminase isoforms, ADA1 and ADA2. ADA1 deficiency was reported as the first discovered molecular ...
Dual inhibition of the vicious cycle and tumor growth in breast and prostate cancer bone metastasis – evaluation of various therapeutic approaches in experimental mouse models
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-10-10)
Bone metastases affect the vast majority of advanced breast and prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease. Since the bone microenvironment can help cancer cells to resist treatment, it is important to find treatment ...
Non-volatile Bioactive and Sensory Compounds in Berries and Leaves of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides)
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-05)
Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L., SB) is regarded as a raw material of high economic value and a source of many health-related bioactive compounds, such as flavonol glycosides (FGs), proanthocyanidins (PAs) and ethyl ...
The complexity of freshness and locality in a food consumption context
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-08-03)
The life cycle of food trends have shortened considerably, but freshness and local origin seem to retain their appeal. These two concepts are often discussed in academic as well as consumer contexts, but they lack generally ...
Cyanobacteria as biocatalysts for the production of volatile hydrocarbons
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-03-29)
The genetic engineering of cyanobacteria is seen as a promising strategy to develop future photosynthetic microbial cell factories capable of generating carbon-based compounds from water, CO2 and solar energy. This synthetic ...
Consequences of photoinhibition of photosystem I on photosynthetic electron transport and carbon metabolism
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-28)
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 ...
Characterization of cytokine binding and its implications in the physiology of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-07)
Bacterial pathogens cause severe infections in humans. The emergence of multiresistant bacteria requires the development of new antimicrobial strategies. Bacteria utilize various virulence mechanisms to promote their ...
Sensory properties and underlying chemistry of Finnish edible wild mushrooms
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-03)
Mushrooms have been part of the human diet for many millennia. They represent an evolutionarily old and large group of edible organisms. Finnish people have a long history of picking and using wild mushrooms for food ...
