[eng] The understanding of proteins as dynamical entities rather than static structures marked a very significant advance in the interpretation of their functional role in life. The capacity of proteins to interact with ...
Guillaumes Domènech, Laia (Date of defense: 2015-06-15)
This thesis presents different studies on hydrogen bonds that occur between two molecules. It is because of the biological importance of DNA that the base pairs, and other compounds with similar hydrogen bonds as these ...
Meulman, Edwin (Date of defense: 2023-10-06)
Adhesive bonds could replace more traditional mechanical joints, making structures lighter and smoother. Stresses are distributed over a larger area, and dissimilar materials can be bonded, accommodating differences in ...

El trasplantament al·logènic de cèl·lules hematopoètiques (AloTPH) és una estratègia terapèutica major per al tractament de neoplàsies malignes hematològiques. Mitjançant l’efecte d’empelt contra leucèmia que aporta el ...
Rius Camps, Nuria (Date of defense: 2016-01-15)
Los elementos transponibles son unidades genéticas capaces de insertarse en otras regiones de los genomas en los que habitan y están presentes en casi todas las especies eucariotas estudiadas. El interés del análisis de ...
Solé Figueras, Liliana (Date of defense: 2019-10-25)
Els paisatges costaners són sistemes socioecològics altament dinàmics i complexos que resulten de la interfície terrestre i marítima. Aquesta interfície crea ecosistemes rics i dinàmics, els quals proporcionen valuosos ...
