Protein-to-structure pipeline for ambient-temperature in situ crystallography at VMXi (2023)
Journal Article
Mikolajek, H., Sanchez-Weatherby, J., Sandy, J., Gildea, R. J., Campeotto, I., Cheruvara, H., …Hough, M. A. (2023). Protein-to-structure pipeline for ambient-temperature in situ crystallography at VMXi. IUCrJ, 10(4), 420-429. https://doi.org/10.1107/s2052252523003810

The utility of X-ray crystal structures determined under ambient-temperature conditions is becoming increasingly recognized. Such experiments can allow protein dynamics to be characterized and are particularly well suited to challenging protein targe...

Site-directed M2 proton channel inhibitors enable synergistic combination therapy for rimantadine-resistant pandemic influenza (2020)
Journal Article
Scott, C., Kankanala, J., Foster, T. L., Goldhill, D. H., Bao, P., Simmons, K., …Griffin, S. (2020). Site-directed M2 proton channel inhibitors enable synergistic combination therapy for rimantadine-resistant pandemic influenza. PLoS Pathogens, 16(8), Article e1008716. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1008716

Pandemic influenza A virus (IAV) remains a significant threat to global health. Preparedness relies primarily upon a single class of neuraminidase (NA) targeted antivirals, against which resistance is steadily growing. The M2 proton channel is an alt...
