End-stapled homo and hetero collagen triple helices: A click chemistry approach (2010)
Journal Article
Byrne, C., McEwan, P. A., Emsley, J., Fischer, P. M., & Chan, W. C. (2011). End-stapled homo and hetero collagen triple helices: A click chemistry approach. Chemical Communications, 47(9), 2589-2591. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0cc04795c

A CuAAC reaction was established for modular synthesis of end-stapled homo- and hetero-triple helical peptides, generating "clicked" macro-assemblies with enhanced thermal stability. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Protease sensing with nanoparticle based platforms (2010)
Journal Article
Welser, K., Adsley, R., Moore, B. M., Chan, W. C., & Aylott, J. W. (2011). Protease sensing with nanoparticle based platforms. Analyst, 136(1), 29-41. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0an00429d

Nanoparticulate systems in various unique configurations are highly effective at detecting protease activity both in vivo and in vitro. In this article, we have summarised the conventional modern methods for monitoring protease activity, and critical... Read More about Protease sensing with nanoparticle based platforms.

Regulation of neurotoxin production and sporulation by a putative agrBD signaling system in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum (2010)
Journal Article
Cooksley, C. M., Davis, I. J., Winzer, K., Chan, W. C., Peck, M. W., & Minton, N. P. (2010). Regulation of neurotoxin production and sporulation by a putative agrBD signaling system in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 76(13), 4448-4460. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.03038-09

A significant number of genome sequences of Clostridium botulinum and related species have now been determined. In silico analysis of these data revealed the presence of two distinct agr loci (agr-1 and agr-2) in all group I strains, each encoding pu...

Garlic as an inhibitor of pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing in cystic fibrosis - A pilot randomized controlled trial (2010)
Journal Article
Smyth, A. R., Cifelli, P. M., Ortori, C. A., Righetti, K., Lewis, S., Erskine, P., …Knox, A. (2010). Garlic as an inhibitor of pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing in cystic fibrosis - A pilot randomized controlled trial. Pediatric Pulmonology, 45(4), 356-362. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppul.21193

Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms biofilms in the cystic fibrosis lung. Quorum sensing (QS) controls biofilm maturation, immune evasion, antibiotic tolerance and virulence factor production. Garlic shows QS inhibitory activity in vitro and in animal model...

High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery (2010)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Anderson, D. G., Langer, R., Williams, P., Davies, M. C., & Alexander, M. R. (2010). High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery. Biomaterials, 31(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2009.09.037

The high throughput discovery of new materials can be achieved by rapidly screening many different materials synthesised by a combinatorial approach to identify the optimal material that fulfils a particular biomedical application. Here we review the... Read More about High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery.
