Aspects of the analytical ultracentrifuge determination of the molar mass distribution of polysaccharides (2016)
Book Chapter
Harding, S. E., Adams, G. G., Gillis, R. B., Almutairi, F. M., & Morris, G. A. (2016). Aspects of the analytical ultracentrifuge determination of the molar mass distribution of polysaccharides. In S. Uchiyama, F. Arisaka, W. F. Stafford, & T. M. Laue (Eds.), Analytical ultracentrifugation: instrumentation, software and applications (375-386). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55985-6_18

Molar mass or ‘molecular weight’ is one of the most fundamental parameters describing a macromolecule. Because of their polydisperse nature, polysaccharides are usually described by distributions of molar mass. SEC-MALS (size exclusion chromatography...

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...

Characterization of capsular polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates by hydrodynamic methods (2015)
Book Chapter
Harding, S. E., Abdelhameed, A. S., Gillis, R. B., Morris, G. A., & Adams, G. G. (2015). Characterization of capsular polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates by hydrodynamic methods. In Carbohydrate-based vaccines (211-227). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-2874-3_13

Hydrodynamic methods are relevant for the characterization of carbohydrates such as capsular bacterial polysaccharides or glycoconjugates in solution. This chapter focuses on the following hydrodynamic methods: sedimentation velocity analytical ultra...

Interdisciplinary approaches to the Scandinavian heritage of North-West England (2014)
Book Chapter
Griffiths, D., & Harding, S. E. (2014). Interdisciplinary approaches to the Scandinavian heritage of North-West England. In S. E. Harding, D. Griffiths, & E. Royles (Eds.), In search of Vikings: interdisciplinary approaches to the Scandinavian heritage of North-West England. CRC Press

A wide variety of approaches based on historical, archaeological, place-name, linguistic, physical, and genetic tools can collectively provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This chapter and the rest of the book that fol... Read More about Interdisciplinary approaches to the Scandinavian heritage of North-West England.
