Synthesis, in vitro evaluation, and radiolabeling of fluorinated puromycin analogues: potential candidates for PET imaging of protein synthesis (2016)
Journal Article
Betts, H. M., Sephton, S. M., Tong, C., Awais, R., Hill, P. J., Perkins, A. C., & Aigbirhio, F. I. (2016). Synthesis, in vitro evaluation, and radiolabeling of fluorinated puromycin analogues: potential candidates for PET imaging of protein synthesis. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 59(20), 9422-9430. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00968

There is currently no ideal radiotracer for imaging protein synthesis rate (PSR) by positron emission tomography (PET). Existing fluorine-18 labelled amino acid-based radiotracers predominantly visualize amino acid transporter processes, and in many...

The dynamic balance of import and export of zinc in Escherichia coli suggests a heterogeneous population response to stress (2015)
Journal Article
Takahashi, H., Oshima, T., Hobman, J. L., Doherty, N., Clayton, S. R., Iqbal, M., Hill, P. J., Tobe, T., Ogasawara, N., Kanaya, S., & Stekel, D. J. (2015). The dynamic balance of import and export of zinc in Escherichia coli suggests a heterogeneous population response to stress. Interface, 12(106), Article 20150069. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2015.0069

Zinc is essential for life, but toxic in excess. Thus all cells must control their internal zinc concentration. We used a systems approach, alternating rounds of experiments and models, to further elucidate the zinc control systems in Escherichia col...
