DichroCalc: improvements in computing protein circular dichroism spectroscopy in the near-ultraviolet (2017)
Journal Article
Jasim, S. B., Li, Z., Guest, E. E., & Hirst, J. D. (in press). DichroCalc: improvements in computing protein circular dichroism spectroscopy in the near-ultraviolet. Journal of Molecular Biology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2017.12.009

A fully quantitative theory connecting protein conformation and optical spectroscopy would facilitate deeper insights into biophysical and simulation studies of protein dynamics and folding. The web-server DichroCalc (http://comp.chem.nottingham.ac.u... Read More about DichroCalc: improvements in computing protein circular dichroism spectroscopy in the near-ultraviolet.

Examining the role of protein structural dynamics in drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2017)
Journal Article
Shaw, D., Hill, R., Simpson, N., Husseini, F., Robb, K., Greetham, G. M., …Hunt, N. (in press). Examining the role of protein structural dynamics in drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chemical Science, 8, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7SC03336B

Antimicrobial resistance represents a growing global health problem. The emergence of novel resistance mechanisms necessitates the development of alternative approaches to investigate the molecular fundamentals of resistance, leading ultimately to ne...

Quantitative first principles calculations of protein circular dichroism in the near-ultraviolet (2017)
Journal Article
Li, Z., & Hirst, J. D. (in press). Quantitative first principles calculations of protein circular dichroism in the near-ultraviolet. RSC Advances, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7SC00586E

Vibrational structure in the near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra of proteins is an important source of information on protein conformation and can be exploited to study structure and folding. A fully quantitative theory of the relationship betwee... Read More about Quantitative first principles calculations of protein circular dichroism in the near-ultraviolet.
