Molecular recognition of lipopolysaccaride by the lantibiotic nisin (2018)
Journal Article
Lanne, A. B., Goode, A., Prattley, C., Kumari, D., Drasbek, M. R., Williams, P., …Bonev, B. B. (2019). Molecular recognition of lipopolysaccaride by the lantibiotic nisin. BBA - Biomembranes, 1861(1), 83-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.10.006

Nisin is a lanthionine antimicrobial effective against diverse Gram-positive bacteria and is used as a food preservative worldwide. Its action is mediated by pyrophosphate recognition of the bacterial cell wall receptors lipid II and undecaprenyl pyr...

To boil an egg: substrate binding affects critical stability in thermal unfolding of proteins (2018)
Journal Article
Hussain, R., Hughes, C. S., Jávorfi, T., Siligardi, G., Williams, P., & Bonev, B. B. (2018). To boil an egg: substrate binding affects critical stability in thermal unfolding of proteins. Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 122(8), 2213-2218. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcb.7b10643

Thermal unfolding of proteins is used extensively in screening of drug candidates because molecular interactions with ligands and substrates affect strongly protein stability, transition temperature, and cooperativity. We use synchrotron radiation ci... Read More about To boil an egg: substrate binding affects critical stability in thermal unfolding of proteins.
