Antigenicity of chimeric and cyclic synthetic peptides based on nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV (2005)
Journal Article
Pérez, T., Ercilla, G., Chan, W. C., & Haro, I. (2006). Antigenicity of chimeric and cyclic synthetic peptides based on nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV. Journal of Peptide Science, 12(4), 267-278. https://doi.org/10.1002/psc.719

In this work, new putative epitopes located in nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV were synthesized using solid-phase chemistry for their use in immunoassays. The antigens were obtained in linear, chimeric and cyclic forms with the main aim of improv...

Discovery of antagonist peptides against bacterial helicase-primase interaction in B. stearothermophilus by reverse yeast three-hybrid (2005)
Journal Article
Gardiner, L., Coyle, B. J., Chan, W. C., & Soultanas, P. (2005). Discovery of antagonist peptides against bacterial helicase-primase interaction in B. stearothermophilus by reverse yeast three-hybrid. Cell Chemistry Biology, 12(5), 595-604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chembiol.2005.04.007

Developing small-molecule antagonists against protein-protein interactions will provide powerful tools for mechanistic/functional studies and the discovery of new antibacterials. We have developed a reverse yeast three-hybrid approach that allows hig...

Modulation of pRb/E2F functions in the regulation of cell cycle and in cancer (2005)
Journal Article
Seville, L. L., Shah, N., Westwell, A. D., & Chan, W. C. (2005). Modulation of pRb/E2F functions in the regulation of cell cycle and in cancer. Current Cancer Drug Targets, 5(3), 159-170. https://doi.org/10.2174/1568009053765816

Cell proliferation is regulated by the cell cycle, and in order to divide the cell must enter a mitotic state. Prior to mitosis the cell is required to pass through a number of checkpoints, including the critical G1/S restriction point governed by th...

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...
