Insights into the antibacterial mechanism of action of chelating agents by selective deprivation of iron, manganese and zinc (2021)
Journal Article

Bacterial growth and proliferation can be restricted by limiting the availability of metal ions in their environment. Humans sequester iron, manganese and zinc to help prevent infection by pathogens, a system termed nutritional immunity. Commercially...

On the antibacterial activity of azacarboxylate ligands: lowered metal ion affinities for bis-amide derivatives of EDTA do not mean reduced activity (2018)
Journal Article

EDTA is widely used as an inhibitor of bacterial growth, affecting the uptake and control of metal ions by microorganisms. We describe the synthesis and characterisation of two symmetrical bis‐amide derivatives of EDTA, featuring glycyl or pyridyl su...

A new family of platinum(II) complexes of the form PtLnSR have been prepared, where Ln represents a cyclometalating, NCN-bound tridentate ligand and SR is a monodentate thiolate ligand. The complexes fall into two groups, those of PtL1SR where HL1 =...

Disulfide bond catalysis is an essential component of protein biogenesis in the secretory pathway, from yeast through to man. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) catalyzes the oxidation and isomerization of disulfide...

Endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductases (Eros) are essential for the formation of disulfide bonds. Understanding disulfide bond catalysis in mammals is important because of the involvement of protein misfolding in conditions such as diabetes, arthritis...
