LBflow: An extensible lattice Boltzmann framework for the simulation of geophysical flows. Part II: usage and validation (2010)
Journal Article
Llewellin, E. (2010). LBflow: An extensible lattice Boltzmann framework for the simulation of geophysical flows. Part II: usage and validation. Computers and Geosciences, 36(2), 123-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2009.08.003

LBflow is a flexible, extensible implementation of the lattice Boltzmann method, developed with geophysical applications in mind. The theoretical basis for LBflow, and its implementation, are presented in the companion paper, 'Part I'. This article c...

L55P transthyretin accelerates subunit exchange and leads to rapid formation of hybrid tetramers (2005)
Journal Article
Keetch, C., Bromley, E., McCammon, M., Wang, N., Christodoulou, J., & Robinson, C. (2005). L55P transthyretin accelerates subunit exchange and leads to rapid formation of hybrid tetramers. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 280(50), 41667-41674

Transthyretin is a tetrameric protein associated with the commonest form of systemic amyloid disease. Using isotopically labeled proteins and mass spectrometry, we compared subunit exchange in wild-type transthyretin with that of the variant associat...

MagicWand: A single, designed peptide that assembles to stable, ordered alpha-helical fibers (2008)
Journal Article
Gribbon, C., Channon, K., Zhang, W., Banwell, E., Bromley, E., Chaudhuri, J., …Woolfson, D. (2008). MagicWand: A single, designed peptide that assembles to stable, ordered alpha-helical fibers. Biochemistry, 47(39), 10365-10371

We describe a straightforward single-peptide design that self-assembles into extended and thickened nano-to-mesoscale fibers of remarkable stability and order. The basic chassis of the design is the well-understood dimeric a-helical coiled-coil motif...

Flow Linear Dichroism of Some Prototypical Proteins (2009)
Journal Article
Bulheller, B., Rodger, A., Hicks, M., Dafforn, T., Serpell, L., Marshall, K., …Hirst, J. (2009). Flow Linear Dichroism of Some Prototypical Proteins. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 131(37), 13305-13314

Flow linear dichroism (LD) spectroscopy provides information on the orientation of molecules in solution and hence on the relative orientation of parts of molecules. Long molecules such as fibrous proteins can be aligned in Couette flow cells and cha... Read More about Flow Linear Dichroism of Some Prototypical Proteins.

HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer (2009)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Dodds, J., Rees, D., Kimani, S., Wu, J., & Smith, E. (2009). HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer. Macromolecules, 42(22), 8675-8687. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma901819f

We demonstrate here the great versatility of the macromonomer approach for the synthesis of long chain hyperbranched polymers (HyperMacs) and describe the synthesis of HyperMacs from polybutadiene and poly(methyl methacrylate) using analogous yet mod...

The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness. (2006)
Journal Article
Haughie, D., Buckley, C., & Wu, J. (2006). The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness. Biomaterials, 27(21), 3875-3881. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2006.03.010

In Part 2 of a study of welding of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), experiments were conducted to measure the interfacial fracture energy of butt welds, for various welding times and temperatures above the melting point. Their tough... Read More about The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness..
