Computer modelling of Bi12SiO20 and Bi4Si3O12: Intrinsic defects and rare earth ion incorporation (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson. (2020). Computer modelling of Bi12SiO20 and Bi4Si3O12: Intrinsic defects and rare earth ion incorporation. Journal of Solid State Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jssc.2020.121608

Defect properties of Bi12SiO12 and Bi4Si3O12 compounds were investigated using atomistic computer modelling techniques based on energy minimisation. Interatomic potentials obtained by empirical fitting reproduce the lattice parameters for both materi...

Infrared spectroscopy of CK Vulpeculae: revealing a remarkably powerful blast from the past (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). Infrared spectroscopy of CK Vulpeculae: revealing a remarkably powerful blast from the past. Astrophysical Journal Letters, https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/abc885

CK Vulpeculae (CK Vul), which erupted in AD 1670-71, was long considered to be a nova outburst; however, recent observations have required that alternative scenarios be considered. Long-slit infrared spectroscopy of a forbidden line of iron reported... Read More about Infrared spectroscopy of CK Vulpeculae: revealing a remarkably powerful blast from the past.

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. II. A Nanoflare Explanation for Periodic Brightenings in Flare Stars Observed by NGTS (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. II. A Nanoflare Explanation for Periodic Brightenings in Flare Stars Observed by NGTS. Astrophysical Journal, 1-18. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abbfa8

Several studies have documented periodic and quasi-periodic signals from the time series of dMe flare stars and other stellar sources. Such periodic signals, observed within quiescent phases (i.e., devoid of larger-scale microflare or flare activity)... Read More about Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. II.

Inhibition of the GDP-d-Mannose Dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Targeted Sugar Nucleotide Probes (2020)
Journal Article
Beswick, L., Dimitriou, E., Ahmadipour, S., Zafar, A., Rejzek, M., Reynisson, J., …Miller, G. (2020). Inhibition of the GDP-d-Mannose Dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Targeted Sugar Nucleotide Probes. ACS chemical biology, 15(12), 3086–3092. https://doi.org/10.1021/acschembio.0c00426

Sufferers of cystic fibrosis are at extremely high risk for contracting chronic lung infections. Over their lifetime, one bacterial strain in particular, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, becomes the dominant pathogen. Bacterial strains incur loss-of-function...

Laboratory Safety for Undergraduate Chemistry Students (2020)
Book Chapter
Hancock, L. M., Hollamby, M. J., & Jones, G. R. (2020). Laboratory Safety for Undergraduate Chemistry Students. In Challenges for Health and Safety in Higher Education and Research Organisations (111-141). Royal Society of Chemistry. https://doi.org/10.1039/9781839162497-00111

From our perspective as chemistry lecturers our primary goal is to graduate trained chemists who can enter into employment or research degrees and can operate safely within a laboratory; the sort of chemist whose first thought is ‘how do I carry out...

New insights into the application of pair distribution function studies to biogenic and synthetic hydroxyapatites (2020)
Journal Article
Arnold, E., Keeble, D., Greenwood, C., & Rogers, K. (2020). New insights into the application of pair distribution function studies to biogenic and synthetic hydroxyapatites. Scientific reports, 10, Article 19597. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-73200-2

Biogenic and synthetic hydroxyapatites are confounding materials whose properties remain uncertain, even after years of study. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis was applied to hydroxyapatites in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but this area of researc...

Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the ASAS catalogue – XI. CHIRON investigation of long-period binaries* (2020)
Journal Article
Hellier. (2020). Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the ASAS catalogue – XI. CHIRON investigation of long-period binaries*. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3488

We present the results of a spectroscopic campaign on eclipsing binaries with long orbital period (P = 20 - 75 d) carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph. Physical and orbital solutions for seven systems were derived from the V-band, and I-band ASAS... Read More about Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the ASAS catalogue – XI.

The hot dayside and asymmetric transit of WASP-189 b seen by CHEOPS (2020)
Journal Article
Maxted. (2020). The hot dayside and asymmetric transit of WASP-189 b seen by CHEOPS. Astronomy and Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202038677

The CHEOPS space mission dedicated to exoplanet follow-up was launched in December 2019, equipped with the capacity to perform photometric measurements at the 20 ppm level. As CHEOPS carries out its observations in a broad optical passband, it can pr... Read More about The hot dayside and asymmetric transit of WASP-189 b seen by CHEOPS.

Is it time for biocatalysis in fragment-based drug discovery? (2020)
Journal Article
Cosgrove. (2020). Is it time for biocatalysis in fragment-based drug discovery?. Chemical Science, 11104 - 11112. https://doi.org/10.1039/D0SC04103C

The use of biocatalysts for fragment-based drug discovery has yet to be fully investigated, despite the promise enzymes hold for the synthesis of poly-functional, non-protected small molecules. Here we analyze products of the biocatalysis literature... Read More about Is it time for biocatalysis in fragment-based drug discovery?.
