Full hydrodynamic reversibility of the weak dimerization of vancomycin and elucidation of its interaction with VanS monomers at clinical concentration (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips-Jones, M. K., Lithgo, R., Dinu, V., Gillis, R. B., Harding, J. E., Adams, G. G., & Harding, S. E. (2017). Full hydrodynamic reversibility of the weak dimerization of vancomycin and elucidation of its interaction with VanS monomers at clinical concentration. Scientific Reports, 7(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-12620-z

The reversibility and strength of the previously established dimerization of the important glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin in four different aqueous solvents (including a medically-used formulation) have been studied using short-column sedimentati...

Single, double and triple doses of the synthetic insulins glargine and degludec currently used in patient therapy are characterised using macromolecular hydrodynamic techniques (dynamic light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation) in an attem...

Health beliefs predict self-care practices and glycaemic control in Malaysian patients with insulin-treated diabetes: a longtitudal study (2017)
Journal Article
Aris, A., Blake, H., & Adams, G. (2017). Health beliefs predict self-care practices and glycaemic control in Malaysian patients with insulin-treated diabetes: a longtitudal study. Malaysian Journal of Public Health Medicine, 17(2), 80-89

The practice of diabetes self-care plays an important role in achieving and maintaining good glycaemic control. However, not all patients with insulin-treated diabetes engage in their self-care activities. There is some evidence that self-care practi...

Hydrodynamics of the VanA-type VanS histidine kinase: an extended solution conformation and first evidence for interactions with vancomycin (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips-Jones, M. K., Channell, G. A., Kelsall, C. J., Hughes, C. S., Ashcroft, A. E., Patching, S. G., Dinu, V., Gillis, R. B., Adams, G. G., & Harding, S. E. (2017). Hydrodynamics of the VanA-type VanS histidine kinase: an extended solution conformation and first evidence for interactions with vancomycin. Scientific Reports, 7(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep46180

VanA-type resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics in clinical enterococci is regulated by the VanSARA two-component signal transduction system. The nature of the molecular ligand that is recognised by the VanSA sensory component has not hitherto been...
