Atomic force microscopy study of human amylin (20-29) fibrils (2005)
Journal Article
Sedman, V. L., Allen, S., Chan, W. C., Davies, M. C., Roberts, C. J., Tendler, S. J., & Williams, P. M. (2005). Atomic force microscopy study of human amylin (20-29) fibrils. Protein and Peptide Letters, 12(1), 79-83. https://doi.org/10.2174/0929866053406129

Here we present atomic force microscopy images of the fibrils formed by human amylin(20-29). This peptide is a fragment of the polypeptide amylin, the major proteinaceous component of amyloid deposits found in cases of type-II diabetes mellitus. Our...

The Scope of pharmacy ethics - An evaluation of the international research literature, 1990-2002 (2004)
Journal Article
Wingfield, J., Bissell, P., & Anderson, C. (2004). The Scope of pharmacy ethics - An evaluation of the international research literature, 1990-2002. Social Science and Medicine, 58(12), 2383-2396. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2003.09.003

This paper attempts to provide a critical overview of international published discourse relating to ethical issues in pharmacy practice from 1990 to 2002. We found that there is little research literature specifically addressing ethics in pharmacy pr...

The expression of many staphylococcal virulence factors are regulated by the agr locus via a two-component signal transduction system (TCSTS), which is activated in response to a secreted autoinducer peptide (AIP). By exploiting the unique chemical a... Read More about Side-chain-to-tail thiolactone peptide inhibitors of the staphylococcal quorum-sensing system.
