This protocol describes the manual solid-phase synthesis of linear peptoids that contain two differently functionalized cationic monomers. In this procedure amino functionalized 'lysine' and guanido functionalized 'arginine' peptoid monomers can be i...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis RuvX is a Holliday junction resolvase formed by dimerisation of the monomeric YqgF nuclease domain (2016)
Journal Article
Nautiyal, A., Rani, P., Sharples, G., & Muniyappa, K. (2016). Mycobacterium tuberculosis RuvX is a Holliday junction resolvase formed by dimerisation of the monomeric YqgF nuclease domain. Molecular Microbiology, 100(4), 656-674. https://doi.org/10.1111/mmi.13338

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome possesses homologues of the ruvC and yqgF genes that encode putative Holliday junction (HJ) resolvases. However, their gene expression profiles and enzymatic properties have not been experimentally defined. Here...

Enlarging the chemical space of anti-leishmanials: a structure-activity relationship study of peptoids against Leishmania mexicana, a causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (2016)
Journal Article

Peptoids, a class of peptide mimetics, have emerged as promising anti-infective agents against a range of bacterial and fungal infections. Recently we have shown peptoids to be novel anti-parasitic and, specifically, anti-leishmanial, compounds. In t...
