Journal Article
Lei, C. L., Whittaker, D. G., & Mirams, G. R. (2024). The impact of uncertainty in hERG binding mechanism on in silico predictions of drug-induced proarrhythmic risk. British Journal of Pharmacology, 181(7), 987-1004. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.16250

Background and Purpose
Drug-induced reduction of the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current carried by the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene (hERG) channel is associated with increased risk of arrhythmias. Recent updates to drug safety regulatory... Read More about The impact of uncertainty in hERG binding mechanism on in silico predictions of drug-induced proarrhythmic risk.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 120(24), Article e2301409120. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2301409120

Low-complexity nucleotide repeat sequences, which are implicated in several neurological disorders, undergo liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) provided the number of repeat units, n, exceeds a critical value. Here, we establish a link between the... Read More about Odd–even disparity in the population of slipped hairpins in RNA repeat sequences with implications for phase separation.

Shape changes and cooperativity in the folding of central domain of the 16S ribosomal RNA (2021)
Journal Article

Both the small and large subunits of the ribosome, the molecular machine that synthesizes proteins, are complexes of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and a number of proteins. In bacteria, the small subunit has a single 16S rRNA whose folding is the first step... Read More about Shape changes and cooperativity in the folding of central domain of the 16S ribosomal RNA.

In vivo studies have shown cyclic bile salt (BS) outputs during fasting whereas higher amounts have been observed in fed states. This leads to fluctuations of intestinal BS concentrations ([BS]) that can affect the rate and extent of absorption of li...
