1.
Young A, Britton G
Photosynth Res . 2014 Jan; 25(2):129-36. PMID: 24420279
The change in the pigment composition of the unicellular alga Dunaliella parva 19/9 during exposure to high light (4000 μmol m(-2) s(-1)) has been investigated. During photobleaching the carotenoids were...

Liu D, Evans I, Britton G, Zachary I
Oncogene . 2007 Dec; 27(21):2989-98. PMID: 18059339
Early growth response 3 (Egr3) is a member of a zinc-finger transcription factor subfamily, which we previously found to be strongly upregulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A in an...

Hornero-Mendez D, Britton G
FEBS Lett . 2002 Apr; 515(1-3):133-6. PMID: 11943208
Cyclic carotenoids, e.g. beta-carotene, are formed by cyclization of an acyclic precursor, lycopene. The gene, crtY, which encodes lycopene beta-cyclase, has a partial sequence characteristic of a pyridine nucleotide binding...

Krawczyk S, Britton G
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2001 May; 1544(1-2):301-10. PMID: 11341939
Molecular mechanisms underlying the peculiar spectral properties of the carotenoid astaxanthin in alpha-crustacyanin, the blue carotenoprotein isolated from the exoskeleton of the lobster Homarus gammarus, were investigated by comparing the...
5.
Farombi E, Britton G
Redox Rep . 2000 Mar; 4(1-2):61-8. PMID: 10714278
The antioxidant efficacy of alpha-carotene and comparison with beta-carotene in multilamellar liposomes prepared from egg yolk phosphatidyl choline (EYPC) exposed to the lipid soluble 2,2'-azobis (2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) (AMVN) was investigated....

Weesie R, Merlin J, de Groot H, Britton G, Lugtenburg J, Jansen F, et al.
Biospectroscopy . 1999 Dec; 5(6):358-70. PMID: 10604288
Resonance Raman spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations were used to investigate the molecular origin of the large redshift assumed by the electronic absorption spectrum of astaxanthin in alpha-crustacyanin, the major...

Britton G, Farley J
J Neurosci . 1999 Oct; 19(20):9126-32. PMID: 10516330
Neurobiological studies of associative learning and memory have focused nearly exclusively on the analysis of neural plasticity resulting from paired stimuli. A second major category of associative-learning processes, one that...

Weesie R, Merlin J, Lugtenburg J, Britton G, Jansen F, Cornard J
Biospectroscopy . 1999 Apr; 5(1):19-33. PMID: 10219878
Semiempirical AM1 calculations have been carried out for beta-carotene and the three xanthophylls (zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and astaxanthin) containing oxygen functions (hydroxy/keto groups) found in the majority of natural pigment. The...

Woodall A, Britton G, Jackson M
Biochim Biophys Acta . 1997 Nov; 1336(3):575-86. PMID: 9367186
The ability of carotenoids to protect egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) lipids against oxidation by peroxyl radicals generated from azo-initiators was studied. In homogeneous organic solution, all the carotenoids tested ameliorated lipid...

Woodall A, Lee S, Weesie R, Jackson M, Britton G
Biochim Biophys Acta . 1997 Jul; 1336(1):33-42. PMID: 9271248
The relationship between structure and reactivity is reported for a collection of carotenoids in solution reacted with oxidants generated by a modified Fenton process or with peroxyl radicals generated via...
