Journal Article
Patel, V. B., Lee, C., El Hindy, M., Hezwani, M., Corry, D., Hull, J., …Conway, M. E. (2014). The branched-chain aminotransferase proteins: Novel redox chaperones for protein disulfide isomerase-implications in Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 20(16), 2497-2513. https://doi.org/10.1089/ars.2012.4869

Aims: The human branched-chain aminotransferase proteins (hBCATm and hBCATc) are regulated through oxidation and S-nitrosation. However, it remains unknown whether they share common redox characteristics to enzymes such as protein disulfide isomerase...

Journal Article
Graham Smith, J., Peter Fitzgerald, S., Martin, A., Ann Smith, M., Conway, M., Anderson, E., …Salisbury, V. (2014). Investigation and verification of a bioluminescent biosensor for the quantitation of ara-CTP generation: A biomarker for cytosine arabinoside sensitivity in acute myeloid leukaemia. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 52, 345-353. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2013.09.014

A novel whole cell bacterial biosensor, which emits light in response to the active metabolite of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C, cytarabine), ara-CTP, has been investigated and verified. The biosensor has been formulated as an ex vivo assay, designed f...
