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.

Hydrodynamic characterisation of chitosan and its interaction with two polyanions: DNA and xanthan (2014)
Journal Article
Almutairi, F. M., Erten, T., Adams, G. G., Hayes, M., McLoughlin, P., Kök, M. Ş., …Harding, S. E. (2015). Hydrodynamic characterisation of chitosan and its interaction with two polyanions: DNA and xanthan. Carbohydrate Polymers, 122, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2014.09.090

Chitosan, a soluble polycationic derivative of insoluble chitin, has been widely considered for use in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Commercial (“C”) and in-house laboratory (“L”) prepared chitosan samples extracted from crustaceo...

On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: a short review (2014)
Journal Article
Morris, G. A., Adams, G. G., & Harding, S. E. (2014). On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: a short review. Food Hydrocolloids, 42, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2014.04.014

Background: Polysaccharides and their derivatives are increasingly being used by the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries: physical properties like size and conformation are important contributors to their performance. Discussion: Here the u... Read More about On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: a short review.

Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content (2014)
Journal Article
Erten, T., Adams, G. G., Foster, T. J., & Harding, S. E. (2014). Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content. Food Hydrocolloids, 42, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2014.04.012

Introduction: The bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan is a well-known hydrocolloid, with a high viscosity deriving from its large molecular weight and volume. Materials and methods: Four different xanthans deriving from Xanthomanas campestris -two w...

Activation of 2? 5?-oligoadenylate synthetase by stem loops at the 5?-end of the West Nile virus genome (2014)
Journal Article
Deo, S., Patel, T. R., Dzananovic, E., Booy, E. P., Zeid, K., McEleney, K., …McKenna, S. A. (2014). Activation of 2′ 5′-oligoadenylate synthetase by stem loops at the 5′-end of the West Nile virus genome. PLoS ONE, 9(3), Article e92545. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0092545

West Nile virus (WNV) has a positive sense RNA genome with conserved structural elements in the 5? and 3? -untranslated regions required for polyprotein production. Antiviral immunity to WNV is partially mediated through the production of a cluster o...
