The way in which academic studies are conducted may vary considerably from one country to another. At times it may be difficult to understand what is expected of you when you start studying in Sweden with only a few lectures, a great deal of individual responsibility and plenty of group work. Perhaps you are not used to this and it may take time to adapt to everything new. Shortcuts to page conten
At the Student Health Centre, we offer support groups and programmes about different topics related to student health. All the activities are free of charge and have been developed in order to support students who have study-related difficulties. We have a duty of confidentiality and are legally required to keep records. Group activitiesThe Student Health Centre offers different group activities w

It is important for Lund University that its students have a good work environment for their studies. Read more here about what the student work environment entails in different situations and who is responsible for ensuring its proper functioning. Rights and responsibilitiesThe concepts of study environment and student work environment are used synonymously in many contexts. At Lund University we

Continuum solvation methods are frequently used to increase the efficiency of computational methods to estimate free energies. In this paper, we have evaluated how well such methods estimate the nonpolar solvation free-energy change when a ligand binds to a protein. Three different continuum methods at various levels of approximation were considered, viz., the polarized continuum model (PCM), a me
Catalytic metal sites in enzymes frequently have second-sphere carboxylate groups that neutralize the charge of the site and share protons with first-sphere ligands. This gives rise to an ambiguity concerning the position of this proton, which has turned out to be hard to settle with experimental, as well as theoretical, methods. We study three such proton-transfer reactions in two proteins and sh
Human DNA polymerase λ is an intermediate fidelity member of the X family, which plays a role in DNA repair. Recent X-ray diffraction structures of a ternary complex of a loop-deletion mutant of polymerase λ, a deoxyguanosine triphosphate analogue, and a gapped DNA show that guanine and thymine form a mutagenic mispair with an unexpected Watson-Crick-like geometry rather than a wobble geometry. He
Quantum refinement (QR) is an approach in which the empirical restraints used in standard structural refinement to ensure that the details of the structure, e.g. bond lengths and angles, make chemical sense are replaced by more accurate quantum mechanical calculations for a small but interesting part of the structure. QR has previously been used for X-ray and neutron crystallography, cryogenic e
Over the past decade, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have revolutionized next-generation semiconductors, driving unprecedented advancements in cost-effective optoelectronics. While lead-based perovskite semiconductors exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, their inherent toxicity and vulnerability to environmental degradation remain significant barriers to widespread commercializ
Photoluminescence (PL) of organo-metal halide perovskite semiconductors can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude by exposure to visible light. We applied PL microscopy and super-resolution optical imaging to investigate this phenomenon with spatial resolution better than 10 nm using films of CH3NH3PbI3 prepared by the equimolar solution-deposition method, resulting in crystals of different s
Argon clusters have been doped with krypton atoms in a pick-up setup and investigated by means of ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS and XPS). The width of the krypton surface feature in the XPS spectra from mixed krypton/argon clusters has been studied and found to be narrower than in the case of homogeneous krypton clusters. By considering known spectral broadening mechanisms
