Lysophospholipid acyltransferases: Novel potential regulators of the inflammatory response and target for new drug discovery (2008)
Journal Article

Molecular and biochemical analyses of membrane phospholipids have revealed that, in addition to their physico-chemical properties, the metabolites of phospholipids play a crucial role in the recognition, signalling and responses of cells to a variety...

Development of an anodic stripping voltammetric assay, using a disposable mercury-free screen-printed carbon electrode, for the determination of zinc in human sweat (2008)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the development of a novel electrochemical assay for Zn2+ in human sweat, which involves the use of disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Initially, SPCEs were used in conjunction with cyclic voltammetry to study...

Evaluation of the properties of a superficially porous silica stationary phase in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (2008)
Journal Article

The sample capacity, column efficiency (and its variation with flow) of a superficially porous unbonded silica phase (Halo) was investigated using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), particularly for separation of basic compounds. Sample... Read More about Evaluation of the properties of a superficially porous silica stationary phase in hydrophilic interaction chromatography.

Opposing effects of Protein Kinase A and C causes differential phosphatidyserine exposure in a CD47 receptor mediated erythrocyte apoptotic pathway (2008)
Journal Article

Erythrocyte apoptosis, like nucleated cell death, is characterised by phosphatidylserine exposure at the outer membrane leaflet. Our group has previously reported that ligation of a monoclonal antibody, BRIC 126 can mediate red cell apoptosis and sub...

Regulatory control of human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase by oxidation and S-glutathionylation and its interactions with redox sensitive neuronal proteins (2008)
Journal Article

Redox regulation of proteins through oxidation and S-thiolation are important regulatory processes, acting in both a protective and adaptive role in the cell. In the current study, we investigated the sensitivity of the neuronal human cytosolic branc...

The effectiveness of somatic embryogenesis in eliminating the cocoa swollen shoot virus from infected cocoa trees (2008)
Journal Article

Investigations were undertaken on the use of somatic embryogenesis to generate cocoa swollen shoot virus (CSSV) disease free clonal propagules from infected trees. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) capillary electrophoresis revealed the presence of CSS...
