Preparation of an antibacterial poly(ionic liquid) graft copolymer of hydroxyethyl cellulose (2015)
Journal Article
Joubert, F., Yeo, R. P., Sharples, G. J., Musa, O. M., Hodgson, D. R., & Cameron, N. R. (2015). Preparation of an antibacterial poly(ionic liquid) graft copolymer of hydroxyethyl cellulose. Biomacromolecules, 16(12), 397-3979. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.biomac.5b01300

Poly(ionic liquid)s (P(IL)s) of different degrees of polymerisation (10, 50 and 100) were prepared via RAFT polymerisation using an alkyne-terminated xanthate as transfer agent, with a monomer conversion of up to ~80% and a ƉM of 1.5 for P(IL)100. Su... Read More about Preparation of an antibacterial poly(ionic liquid) graft copolymer of hydroxyethyl cellulose.

Journal Article
Fenyk, S., Townsend, P. D., Dixon, C. H., Spies, G. B., de San Eustaquio Campillo, A., Slootweg, E. J., …Cann, M. J. (2015). The Potato Nucleotide-Binding Leucine-Rich Repeat (NLR) Immune Receptor Rx1 is a Pathogen Dependent DNA-Deforming Protein. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 290(41), 24945-24960. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m115.672121

Plant NLR proteins enable cells to respond to pathogen attack. Several NLRs act in the nucleus, however, conserved nuclear targets that support their role in immunity are unknown. Previously we noted a structural homology between the NB domain of NLR...
