Concentration dependence of translational diffusion coefficients for globular proteins (2014)
Journal Article
Scott, D. J., Harding, S. E., & Winzor, D. J. (2014). Concentration dependence of translational diffusion coefficients for globular proteins. Analyst, 139(23), https://doi.org/10.1039/c4an01060d

This investigation examines published results of traditional diffusion experiments on ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin to determine the extent to which assumed concentration independence of the translational diffusion coefficient is a reasonable ap...

N-terminal Domain of Prion Protein Directs Its Oligomeric Association (2014)
Journal Article
Trevitt, C. R., Hosszu, L. L., Batchelor, M., Panico, S., Terry, C., Nicoll, A. J., …Clarke, A. R. (2014). N-terminal Domain of Prion Protein Directs Its Oligomeric Association. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 289(37), 25497-25508. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m114.566588

The self-association of prion protein (PrP) is a critical step in the pathology of prion diseases. It is increasingly recognized that small non-fibrillar ?-sheet-rich oligomers of PrP may be of crucial importance in the prion disease process. Here, w...

Engineering a reagentless biosensor for single-stranded DNA to measure real-time helicase activity in Bacillus (2014)
Journal Article
Green, M., Gilhooly, N. S., Abedeen, S., Scott, D. J., Dillingham, M. S., & Soultanas, P. (2014). Engineering a reagentless biosensor for single-stranded DNA to measure real-time helicase activity in Bacillus. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 61, 579-586. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2014.06.011

Single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) is a well characterized ubiquitous and essential bacterial protein involved in almost all aspects of DNA metabolism. Using the Bacillus subtilis SSB we have generated a reagentless SSB biosensor that can be u...

Structure and Catalytic Regulatory Function of Ubiquitin Specific Protease 11 N-Terminal and Ubiquitin-like Domains (2014)
Journal Article
Harper, S., Gratton, H. E., Cornaciu, I., Oberer, M., Scott, D. J., Emsley, J., & Dreveny, I. (2014). Structure and Catalytic Regulatory Function of Ubiquitin Specific Protease 11 N-Terminal and Ubiquitin-like Domains. Biochemistry, 53(18), 2966-2978. https://doi.org/10.1021/bi500116x

The ubiquitin specific protease 11 (USP11) is implicated in DNA repair, viral RNA replication, and TGF? signaling. We report the first characterization of the USP11 domain architecture and its role in regulating the enzymatic activity. USP11 consists...

Anomalous Small Angle X-Ray Scattering Simulations: Proof of Concept for Distance Measurements for Nanoparticle-Labelled Biomacromolecules in Solution (2014)
Journal Article
Pinfield, V. J., & Scott, D. J. (2014). Anomalous Small Angle X-Ray Scattering Simulations: Proof of Concept for Distance Measurements for Nanoparticle-Labelled Biomacromolecules in Solution. PLoS ONE, 9(4), Article e95664. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0095664

Anomalous small angle X-ray scattering can in principle be used to determine distances between metal label species on biological molecules. Previous experimental studies in the past were unable to distinguish the label-label scattering contribution f...
