Journal Article
Taresco, V., Suksiriworapong, J., Styliari, I. D., Argent, R. H., Swainson, S. M., Booth, J., …Garnett, M. C. (in press). New N-acyl amino acid-functionalized biodegradable polyesters for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. RSC Advances, 6(111), 109401-109405. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6RA21464A

A novel class of biodegradable polyesters has been generated by coupling poly(glycerol adipate) with N-acyl aromatic amino acids. This new set of polymers from this highly versatile polymeric platform may offer unprecedented new opportunities to prod...

Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the ternary complex nisin2:lipid II (2016)
Journal Article
Mulholland, S., Turpin, E. R., Bonev, B. B., & Hirst, J. (2016). Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the ternary complex nisin2:lipid II. Scientific Reports, 6(21185), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep21185

Lanthionine antibiotics are an important class of naturally-occurring antimicrobial peptides. The best-known, nisin, is a commercial food preservative. However, structural and mechanistic details on nisin/lipid II membrane complexes are currently lac... Read More about Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the ternary complex nisin2:lipid II.
