Journal Article
Gericke, M., Amaral, A. J. R., Budtova, T., De Wever, P., Groth, T., Heinze, T., …Fardim, P. (2024). The European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE) research roadmap 2040: Advanced strategies for exploiting the vast potential of polysaccharides as renewable bioresources. Carbohydrate Polymers, 326, Article 121633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121633

Polysaccharides are among the most abundant bioresources on earth and consequently need to play a pivotal role when addressing existential scientific challenges like climate change and the shift from fossil-based to sustainable biobased materials. Th...

Comparative hydrodynamic and nanoscale imaging study on the interactions of teicoplanin-A2 and bovine submaxillary mucin as a model ocular mucin (2023)
Journal Article
Chun, T., Pattem, J., Gillis, R. B., Dinu, V. T., Yakubov, G. E., Corfield, A. P., & Harding, S. E. (2023). Comparative hydrodynamic and nanoscale imaging study on the interactions of teicoplanin-A2 and bovine submaxillary mucin as a model ocular mucin. Scientific Reports, 13, Article 11367. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-38036-6

Glycopeptide antibiotics are regularly used in ophthalmology to treat infections of Gram-positive bacteria. Aggregative interactions of antibiotics with mucins however can lead to long exposure and increases the risk of resistant species. This study...

DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 regulates cellulose synthesis and affects primary cell wall mechanics (2023)
Journal Article
Novaković, L., Yakubov, G. E., Ma, Y., Bacic, A., Blank, K. G., Sampathkumar, A., & Johnson, K. L. (2023). DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 regulates cellulose synthesis and affects primary cell wall mechanics. Frontiers in Plant Science, 14, Article 1150202. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2023.1150202

The cell wall is one of the defining features of plants, controlling cell shape, regulating growth dynamics and hydraulic conductivity, as well as mediating plants interactions with both the external and internal environments. Here we report that a p... Read More about DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 regulates cellulose synthesis and affects primary cell wall mechanics.

Self-association of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin A2 in aqueous solution studied by molecular hydrodynamics (2023)
Journal Article
Chun, T., Pattem, J., Gillis, R. B., Dinu, V. T., Yakubov, G. E., Corfield, A. P., & Harding, S. E. (2023). Self-association of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin A2 in aqueous solution studied by molecular hydrodynamics. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 1969. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-28740-8

The natural glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin is used for the treatment of serious Gram-positive related bacterial infections and can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, topically (ocular infections), or orally. It has also been conside... Read More about Self-association of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin A2 in aqueous solution studied by molecular hydrodynamics.

The impact of psyllium gelation behaviour on in vitro colonic fermentation properties (2023)
Journal Article
Harris, H. C., Pereira, N., Koev, T., Khimyak, Y. Z., Yakubov, G. E., & Warren, F. J. (2023). The impact of psyllium gelation behaviour on in vitro colonic fermentation properties. Food Hydrocolloids, 139, Article 108543. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2023.108543

Psyllium is a viscous, gel forming fibre with properties that have led it to be used for alleviating gastrointestinal discomfort. We have used previously identified fractions of psyllium with differing flow properties. Fraction 1 (F1) forms a non-gel...

Chloroplast/thylakoid-rich material: A possible alternative to the chemically synthesised flow enhancer polyglycerol polyricinoleate in oil-based systems (2023)
Journal Article
Sutcharit, P., Wattanakul, J., Price, R., Di Bari, V., Gould, J., Yakubov, G., …Gray, D. A. (2023). Chloroplast/thylakoid-rich material: A possible alternative to the chemically synthesised flow enhancer polyglycerol polyricinoleate in oil-based systems. Food Research International, 165, Article 112472. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112472

Chloroplasts are abundant organelles in a diverse range of plant materials; they are predominantly composed of multicomponent thylakoid membranes which are lipid and protein rich. Intact or unravelled thylakoid membranes should, in principle, have in...
