Volatile essential oils (EOs) from medicinal plants play an important role in the treatment of various diseases. EOs have been shown to exhibit anti-bacterial, antiviral, antimycotic, antitoxigenic, antiparasitic, and insecticidal properties [1]. Sev...

Journal Article
Li, W., Rosa, J., Siddique, M., Bajana, B., Sulé-Suso, J., & Richardson, A. Anti-cancer thymoquinone from Nigella sativa. Planta Medica, 79(13), https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0033-1351896

Quinones and phenolic compounds are important bioactive natural products in medicinal and dietary plants [1 – 3]. For example, thymoquinone (2-isopropyl-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, TQ) is the main bioactive compound from Nigella sativa (black cumin) (...

Single-Molecule Detection of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA through Chemical Modification and Nanopore Analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Li, W., Gong, L., & Bayley, H. (2013). Single-Molecule Detection of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA through Chemical Modification and Nanopore Analysis. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 52(16), 4350-4355. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201300413

DNA threading the needle: A new method of single-molecule detection of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA has been developed. Selective thiol substitution of 5hmC (giving SMC) in a single-step, bisulfite-mediated reaction (see scheme) allows the i...
