Location dependent coordination chemistry and MRI relaxivity, in de novo designed lanthanide coiled coils (2015)
Journal Article
Berwick, M. R., Slope, L. N., Smith, C. F., King, S. M., Newton, S. L., Gillis, R. B., …Peacock, A. F. A. (in press). Location dependent coordination chemistry and MRI relaxivity, in de novo designed lanthanide coiled coils. Chemical Science, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.1039/c5sc04101e

Herein, we establish for the first time the design principles for lanthanide coordination within coiled coils, and the important consequences of binding site translation. By interrogating design requirements and by systematically translating binding...

Application of recent advances in hydrodynamic methods for characterising mucins in solution (2015)
Journal Article
Almutairi, F. M., Cifre, J. H., Adams, G. G., Kök, M. S., Mackie, A. R., de la Torre, J. G., & Harding, S. E. (2016). Application of recent advances in hydrodynamic methods for characterising mucins in solution. European Biophysics Journal, 45(1), 45-54. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00249-015-1075-0

Mucins are the primary macromolecular component of mucus—nature’s natural lubricant—although they are poorly characterised heterogeneous substances. Recent advances in hydrodynamic methodology now offer the opportunity for gaining a better understand...

Ultracentrifuge Methods for the Analysis of Polysaccharides, Glycoconjugates, and Lignins (2015)
Book Chapter
Harding, S. E., Adams, G. G., Almutairi, F., Alzahrani, Q., Erten, T., Samil Kök, M., & Gillis, R. B. (2015). Ultracentrifuge Methods for the Analysis of Polysaccharides, Glycoconjugates, and Lignins. In Analytical Ultracentrifugation (391-439). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.mie.2015.06.043

Although like proteins, polysaccharides are synthesized by enzymes, unlike proteins there is no template. This means that they are polydisperse, do not generally have compact folded structures, and are often very large with greater nonideality behavi...
