A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly (2009)
Journal Article
Piette, B., Liu, J., Peeters, K., Smertenko, A., Hawkins, T., Deeks, M., …Hussey, P. (2009). A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly. PLoS ONE, 4(8), Article e6378. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0006378

Microtubules are self-assembling polymers whose dynamics are essential for the normal function of cellular processes including chromosome separation and cytokinesis. Therefore understanding what factors effect microtubule growth is fundamental to our... Read More about A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly.

Enzyme activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsis glutathione transferase superfamily (2009)
Journal Article
Dixon, D., Hawkins, T., Hussey, P., & Edwards, R. (2009). Enzyme activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsis glutathione transferase superfamily. Journal of Experimental Botany, 60(4), 1207-1218. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ern365

Enzyme screens with Strep-tagged recombinant proteins and expression studies with the respective green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions have been employed to examine the functional activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsi...

Actin dynamics and the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks (2009)
Journal Article
Buxton, G., Clarke, N., & Hussey, P. (2009). Actin dynamics and the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks. Express polymer letters, 3(9), 579-587. https://doi.org/10.3144/expresspolymlett.2009.72

The structural integrity of a cell depends on its cytoskeleton, which includes an actin network. This network is transient and depends upon the continual polymerization and depolymerization of actin. The degradation of an actin network, and a corresp... Read More about Actin dynamics and the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks.
