Popular Science Summary Konsten att kunna ta bort ett syre Alla celler har DNA, som måste repareras och kopieras för att livet ska fortgå. För att kunna göra detta måste det finnas byggstenar. En av alla processer som ser till att alla delar finns i rätt mängd innefattar bara ett protein. Ett protein som får instruktioner från många håll för att gå igenom en komplicerad process som tillverkar dessThe protein ribonucleotide reductase catalyses the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) from ribonucleotides (NTPs), using radical chemistry. It is under strict allosteric regulation, partly from the dNTPs it synthesises that regulate what substrate should be synthesised, but also from dATP/ATP, which regulates overall activity. It is a protein that is found in almost every living org

Under the assumption that fund managers affect the preferences of the representative investor, proposit
The aim with this thesis is to investigate the relatively new currency Bitcoin and shed some light over its structure and composition from a macroeconomic point of view. Not a lot of academic work has been published on the subject it is therefore interesting to dive deeper into. By using macroeconomic theory and published academic work I will try to determine if the new digital currency has a chan
Tidigare forskning visar att fördomar om fysisk attraktivitet påverkar hur arbetssökande blir bedömnda vid rekrytering (Cann, Siegfried, & Pearce 1981; Sheppard, Goffin, Lewis & Olson, 2011). I en manipulerad rekryteringssituation undersöktes om attraktivitetsstereotypens effekter minskade efter att undersökningsdeltagarna blivit varnade om risken för missbedömning. Vidare undersöktes samb
This paper studies the ideas of two actors in the Scandinavian field of Information Systems development. It analyzes the writings of Börje Langefors and Bo Dahlbom in the 1980s and 1990s, and focuses on their collaboration resulting in the publication of Langefors’ Essays on Infology. Langefors was at that time honored as the founder of the information systems discipline in Scandinavia, but had al
During the 1950’s and 1960’s an unexplainable phenomenon arose amongst middle class women in North America. Women in the suburbs experienced a feeling of emptiness even though they believed they had everything they could ever ask for in life. This phenomenon is covered by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique (1963) where she discusses the identity crisis and loss of self that many women experien

The III-V semiconducting compounds InAs and GaSb were studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Different crystal planes of each material were investigated separately, including wafers of InAs(111)A, InAs(111)B, InAs(110), GaSb(100), GaSb(110) as well as nanowires consisting of InAs. All these materials were imaged both before and after exposure
