Background: Heterobifunctional cross-linking agents are useful in both protein science and organic synthesis. Aminolysis of reactive esters in aqueous systems is often used in bioconjugation chemistry, but it must compete against hydrolysis processes...

A study of the expression of small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK1-3) in sensory endings of muscle spindles and lanceolate endings of hair follicles in the rat (2014)
Journal Article
Shenton, F., Bewick, G., & Banks, R. (2014). A study of the expression of small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK1-3) in sensory endings of muscle spindles and lanceolate endings of hair follicles in the rat. PLoS ONE, 9(9), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0107073

Processes underlying mechanotransduction and its regulation are poorly understood. Inhibitors of Ca2+-activated K+ channels cause a dramatic increase in afferent output from stretched muscle spindles. We used immunocytochemistry to test for the prese...

The synthesis of emetine analogue NSC-134754, a potent inhibitor of the HIF pathway, has been accomplished and its structure reassigned. The stereochemistry of NSC-134754 has been assigned for the first time using X-ray crystallography and it has bee... Read More about The synthesis and structure revision of NSC-134754.

Re-deposited cryptotephra layers in Holocene peats linked to anthropogenic activity (2013)
Journal Article
Swindles, G., Galloway, J., Outram, Z., Turner, K., Schofield, J., Newton, A., …Bashford, D. (2013). Re-deposited cryptotephra layers in Holocene peats linked to anthropogenic activity. Holocene, 23(10), 1493-1501. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683613489586

Tephra layers can form useful age-equivalent stratigraphic markers for correlating palaeoenvironmental sequences and they provide information about the spatio-temporal nature of past volcanic ash fall events. The use of microscopic ‘cryptotephra’ lay... Read More about Re-deposited cryptotephra layers in Holocene peats linked to anthropogenic activity.
