The simulation of X-ray emission spectra of transition metal complexes with time- dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is investigated. X-ray emission spectra can be computed within TDDFT in conjunction with the Tamm-Dancoff approximation by u...

Acyl hydrolases from trans-AT polyketide synthases target acetyl units on acyl carrier proteins (2016)
Journal Article
Acyl hydrolase (AH) domains are a common feature of trans-AT PKSs. They have been hypothesised to perform a proofreading function by removing acyl chains from stalled sites. This study determines the substrate tolerance of the AH PedC for a range of... Read More about Acyl hydrolases from trans-AT polyketide synthases target acetyl units on acyl carrier proteins.
Aurophilicity under pressure: a combined crystallographic and in-situ spectroscopic study (2016)
Journal Article
High pressure crystallographic studies on [1,4 C6H4{PPh2(AuCl)}2] (1) reveal the largest pressure-induced contraction of an aurophilic interaction observed for any Au(I) complex; Hirshfeld surface analysis and Raman spectroscopy reveal the presence o...

Simulation of Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy of Peptides Using Localized Normal Modes (2016)
Journal Article
Non-linear two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR) is most commonly simulated within the framework of the exciton method. The key parameters for these calculations include the frequency of the oscillators within their molecular environments and...

Strain-Engineered Graphene Grown on Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (2016)
Journal Article
Graphene grown by high temperature molecular beam epitaxy on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) forms continuous domains with dimensions of order 20 μm, and exhibits moiré patterns with large periodicities, up to ~30 nm, indicating that the layers are hig...

Non-interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks based on copper(II) paddlewheel and oligoparaxylene-isophthalate linkers: synthesis, structure and gas adsorption (2016)
Journal Article
Two metal–organic framework materials, MFM-130 and MFM-131 (MFM = Manchester Framework Material), have been synthesized using two oligoparaxylene (OPX) tetracarboxylate linkers containing four and five aromatic rings, respectively. Both fof-type non-... Read More about Non-interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks based on copper(II) paddlewheel and oligoparaxylene-isophthalate linkers: synthesis, structure and gas adsorption.
The molecular basis of polysaccharide cleavage by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (2016)
Journal Article
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing enzymes that oxidatively break down recalcitrant polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Since their discovery, LPMOs have become integral factors in the industrial utilization o... Read More about The molecular basis of polysaccharide cleavage by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases.
Towards sustainable polymeric nano-carriers and surfactants: facile low temperature enzymatic synthesis of bio-based amphiphilic copolymers in scCO2 (2016)
Journal Article
We demonstrate that useful bio-based amphiphilic polymers can be produced enzymatically at a mild temperature, in a solvent-free system and using renewably sourced monomers, by exploiting the unique properties of supercritical CO2 (scCO2). We present... Read More about Towards sustainable polymeric nano-carriers and surfactants: facile low temperature enzymatic synthesis of bio-based amphiphilic copolymers in scCO2.
Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the ternary complex nisin2:lipid II (2016)
Journal Article
Lanthionine antibiotics are an important class of naturally-occurring antimicrobial peptides. The best-known, nisin, is a commercial food preservative. However, structural and mechanistic details on nisin/lipid II membrane complexes are currently lac...

Transport coefficients of He+ ions in helium (2016)
Journal Article
Recent theoretical advances have made it possible to calculate ab initio interaction potentials for atomic ionatom collisions that are highly accurate, and to use the potentials to calculate gaseous ion transport coefficients that meet or exceed the...
