Martin Högbom wants to be as good as nature at chemistry
Martin Högbom, professor in biochemistry, Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Wallenberg Scholar, talks about his research in this video from the Knut och Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
New mechanism for regulating supply of DNA building blocks may lead to better antibiotics
The novel mechanism could help scientists design better antibiotics by targeting a pathogen’s ability to reproduce.
A repressor that monitors the supply of DNA building blocks
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA building blocks.
Research for the benefit of ALS patients
By understanding why certain nerve cells and the muscles they control are resistant to fading in the deadly disease ALS, it is possible to create new possibilities for treatments.
A most dangerous poison can be of great benefit as a drug
Through molecular genealogy, Pål Stenmark (professor of biochemistry) has found a new family of botulinum toxins, where a variant can fight malaria mosquitoes.
A salt transporter linked to hypertension and diabetes
