Insight into the structure and function of engineered biocatalysts: serine hydroxymethyltransferase from Streptococcus thermophilus and halohydrine dehalogenase D2 from Gammaproteobacterium

Petrillo, Giovanna (Date of defense: 2017-06-28)

The rapid progress in structural and molecular biology over the past fifteen years has allowed chemists to access the structures of enzymes, of their complexes and of engineered variants. This wealth of structural information ...

Interactions between marine picoeukaryotes and their viruses one cell at a time = Interacciones entre picoeucariotas marinos y sus virus célula a célula

Castillo de la Peña, Yaiza M. (Date of defense: 2019-12-17)

Marine viruses are key components of marine microbial communities, as they influence the cellular abundances and the community structure of microbes, participate in their genetic exchange, and intervene in the ocean ...

Interrelación entre la respuesta a sombra y la síntesis de carotenoides en Arabidopsis thaliana

Ortiz Alcaide, Miriam (Date of defense: 2017-05-10)

Los carotenoides son pigmentos fotosintéticos con un papel esencial para la protección de los cloroplastos frente al daño fotooxidativo causado por el exceso de irradiación solar. Cuando las plantas crecen en alta densidad ...

Into the structure of human full-length Smad proteins and the impact of cancer mutations

Gomes, Tiago Lopes (Date of defense: 2019-11-05)

Signal transduction pathways are essential mechanisms that cells use to perform a myriad of biological processes that when aberrant, can cause serious diseases. Understanding the molecular basis of these pathways in detail ...

Investigació en biomarcadors de l’estat de la dopamina i la serotonina en pacients neuropediàtrics

Batllori Tragant, Marta (Date of defense: 2021-04-12)

Els errors congènits del metabolisme són malalties d’origen genètic amb una baixa prevalença dins de la població general. Aquestes malalties solen estar causades per mutacions en gens que provoquen un mal funcionament ...

Investigating early functional alteration in a human iPSC-based model of Parkinson’s Disease

Carola, Giulia (Date of defense: 2019-07-26)

Dopaminergic neurons (DAn) were efficiently differentiated from 6 different iPSC lines derived from a 2 control, 3 PD lines, and an isogenic PD line. We characterize the culture at different time point in order to verify ...
