Ferric chelates like ferric tyrosinate (TYPLEX) and the closely related ferric quinate (QPLEX) are structural mimics of bacterial siderophores. TYPLEX has been trialled as a feed additive in farming of commercial broilers, reducing Campylobacter load...

Sims, C., Withall, D. M., Oldham, N., Stockman, R., & Birkett, M. (2023). Computational investigation of aphid odorant receptor structure and binding function. Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 41(8), 3647-3658 . https://doi.org/10.1080/07391102.2022.2053743

Odorant receptors (OR) play a critical role in signal transduction and olfactory recognition in insects. Unfortunately, insect ORs are difficult to express and purify, and limited structural data are available. Computational methods were used to pred...
