Image detection of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Light-Addressable Potentiometric Sensors (LAPS) (2016)
Journal Article
Watkinson. (2016). Image detection of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Light-Addressable Potentiometric Sensors (LAPS). Electrochemistry Communications, 41 - 45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.elecom.2016.08.017

A light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) was developed for the image detection of multilayer yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By modifying silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) with a monolayer of 1,8-nonadiyne, an inert LAPS substrate, insensitive to pH...

Beta Cell Hubs Dictate Pancreatic Islet Responses to Glucose (2016)
Journal Article
Watkinson. (2016). Beta Cell Hubs Dictate Pancreatic Islet Responses to Glucose. Cell Metabolism, 389 - 401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2016.06.020

The arrangement of ß cells within islets of Langerhans is critical for insulin release through the generation of rhythmic activity. A privileged role for individual ß cells in orchestrating these responses has long been suspected, but not directly de...

An investigation into the synthesis of azido-functionalised coumarins for application in 1,3-dipolar "click" cycloaddition reactions (2016)
Journal Article
Watkinson. (2016). An investigation into the synthesis of azido-functionalised coumarins for application in 1,3-dipolar "click" cycloaddition reactions. Dyes and Pigments, 36 - 40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2016.06.028

A range of reported methods have been assessed for the synthesis of two coumarin fluorophores containing azides, 1a and 2, for subsequent “click” modification. In the case of 1a reported methods were successfully applied, but the resulting azide prov...
