The Photocycle of Bacteriophytochrome Is Initiated by Counterclockwise Chromophore Isomerization.
2022
Photoactivation of bacteriophytochrome involves a cis–trans photoisomerization of a biliverdin chromophore, but neither the precise sequence of events nor the direction of the isomerization is known. Here, we used nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations on the photosensory protein dimer to resolve the isomerization mechanism in atomic detail. In our simulations the photoisomerization of the D ring occurs in the counterclockwise direction. On a subpicosecond time scale, the photoexcited chromophore adopts a short-lived intermediate with a highly twisted configuration stabilized by an extended hydrogen-bonding network. Within tens of picoseconds, these hydrogen bonds break, allowing the c…
Complementary approaches for assessing protein sources in fish feed
2018
Fluctuating fishmeal (FM) prices and declining marine fish stocks have led to the current trend of replacing dietary FM with plant proteins (PP) in fish feed. PPs offer challenges both with respect to nutritional quality and the occurrence of antinutrients. The assessment of utilisation efficiency of PPs for growth is important for the sustainable production of fish feed. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the applicability of stable isotope analysis in combination with respirometry in the evaluation of dietary PPs for juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The dietary PPs were corn gluten meal (CGM), rapeseed protein concentrate (RPC) and potato protein (PoP). Complet…
Step-by-step analysis of drinking water treatment trains using size-exclusion chromatography to fingerprint and track protein-like and humic/fulvic-l…
2019
This paper provides a glimpse into the removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during conventional drinking water treatment and evaluates the potential of high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) as a supplementary tool for routine monitoring of drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). Two DWTPs in Central Finland were systematically evaluated using HPSEC with simultaneous UV and fluorescence detection. For tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and humic/fulvic-like DOM fractions of various molecular weight (MW) values, the total and step-by-step removal efficiencies were estimated along the treatment trains. Overall, both DWTPs removed ∼70% of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and r…

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the major capsid proteins VP16 and VP17 of bacteriophage P23-77.
2012
The major capsid proteins VP16 and VP17 of bacteriophage P23-77 have been crystallized using both recombinant and purified virus and preliminary diffraction analyses have been performed.
Rats bred for low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity link obesity with brain inflammation and reduced structural plasticity of the hippocampus.
2021
Abstract BACKGROUND Increasing evidence shows obesity and poor metabolic health are associated with cognitive deficits, but the mechanistic connections have yet to be resolved. We studied rats selectively bred for low and high intrinsic aerobic capacity in order to test the association between low physical fitness, a genetic predisposition for obesity, and brain health. We hypothesized that low-capacity runner (LCR) rats with concurrently greater levels of adiposity would have increased hippocampal inflammation and reduced plasticity compared to the more physically fit high-capacity runner (HCR) rats. METHODS We examined markers for inflammation and brain plasticity in the hippocampi of LCR…

Avidiini-HABA-kompleksin karakterisointi ja kontrollointi
2011
Avidiini on tetrameerinen proteiini, jota on tutkittu ja käytetty paljon ligandien sitomiskykynsä ansiosta. Avidiinin luonnollinen ligandi on biotiini, jonka affiniteetti avidiiniin on erittäin voimakas (Kd=10-15 M). Avidiini kykenee sitomaan myös muita ligandeja, mutta pienemmällä affiniteetilla. Yksi avidiiniin sitoutuvista molekyyleistä on HABA (4’-hydroksiatsobentseeni-2-karboksyylihappo) -atsoväri, jota on käytetty avidiini-biotiiniteknologiassa hyväksi. HABA-molekyylillä on kaksi eri rakenteellista isomeerimuotoa, trans- ja cis-isomeerit. Yleensä se esiintyy tasomaisena molekyylinä eli trans-isomeerina, mutta se voi menettää tasomaisen rakenteensa ja ilmentyä tällöin cis-isomeerinä. A…

Voimaharjoittelun ja proteiinisupplementaation vaikutus myostatiinin ja siihen liittyvien geenien ilmentymiseen nuorilla ja vanhoilla miehillä
2008
Salmijärvi, Hanna 2008. Voimaharjoittelun ja proteiinisupplementaation vaikutus myostatiinin ja siihen liittyvien geenien ilmentymiseen nuorilla ja vanhoilla miehillä. Liikuntafysiologian Pro gradu – tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntabiologian laitos, 80s. Myostatiini vaikuttaa luurankolihasten kasvuun negatiivisesti pääasiallisesti estämällä satelliittisolujen kypsymistä ja erilaistumista. Hypertrofiaolosuhteissa satelliittisolut jakautuvat ja luovuttavat lihassoluihin uusia tumia. Myogeeniset säätelytekijät MyoD ja myogeniini säätelevät satelliittisolujen kypsymistä ja erilaistumista. Riittävä proteiinien saanti on hypertrofialle välttämätöntä fyysisen suorituksen yhteydessä. Ikään…
