Free-Energy Relationships for the Interactions of Tryptophan with Phosphocholines (2009)
Journal Article
Blaser, G., Sanderson, J. M., & Wilson, M. R. (2009). Free-Energy Relationships for the Interactions of Tryptophan with Phosphocholines. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 7(24), 5119-5128. https://doi.org/10.1039/b913919b

In membrane proteins and peptides, tryptophan exhibits a marked tendency to occur in locations that correspond to the interfacial region of the lipid bilayer. The relative contributions of electrostatic, dipolar, hydrophobic and conformational effect... Read More about Free-Energy Relationships for the Interactions of Tryptophan with Phosphocholines.

Surface features of a Mononegavirales matrix protein indicate sites of membrane interaction (2009)
Journal Article
Money, V., McPhee, H., Mosely, J., Sanderson, J., & Yeo, R. (2009). Surface features of a Mononegavirales matrix protein indicate sites of membrane interaction. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 106(11), 4441-4446. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0805740106

The matrix protein (M) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the prototype viral member of the Pneumovirinae (family Paramyxoviridae, order Mononegavirales), has been crystallized and the structure determined to a resolution of 1.6 A. The structure c... Read More about Surface features of a Mononegavirales matrix protein indicate sites of membrane interaction.

Peptide Adsorption to Lipid Bilayers: Slow Processes Revealed by Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy (2009)
Journal Article
Ennaceur, S. M., Hicks, M. R., Pridmore, C. J., Dafforn, T. R., Rodger, A., & Sanderson, J. M. (2009). Peptide Adsorption to Lipid Bilayers: Slow Processes Revealed by Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy. Biophysical Journal, 96(4), 1399-1407. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.2008.10.039

The adsorption and insertion kinetics for the association of two 34-residue cyclic peptides with phosphocholine membranes have been studied using circular and linear dichroism approaches. The two peptides studied are identical with the exception of t... Read More about Peptide Adsorption to Lipid Bilayers: Slow Processes Revealed by Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy.
