Zubair I, Martinez-Crespo L, Webb S
Curr Opin Chem Biol . 2024 Dec; 84:102549. PMID: 39616809
Crucial physiological processes, like neural communication and muscle contraction, are mediated by protein channels in cell membranes. These natural channels typically have a central hydrophilic pore with tightly defined dimensions,...

Martinez-Crespo L, Whitehead G, Vitorica-Yrezabal I, Webb S
Chem Sci . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39345772
The structural, self-assembly and binding properties of oligo-(phenylene-ethynylene) (OPE) rigid rods linked to squaramides (SQs) have been studied and correlated with rod length. In the solid-state, OPE-SQ conjugates form indefinite...

Doerner B, Della Sala F, Wang S, Webb S
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2024 May; 63(30):e202405924. PMID: 38703400
Natural membrane receptors are proteins that can report on changes in the concentration of external chemical messengers. Messenger binding to a receptor produces conformational changes that are relayed through the...

Tilly D, McColl C, Hu M, Vitorica-Yrezabal I, Webb S
Org Biomol Chem . 2023 Nov; 21(48):9562-9571. PMID: 38009076
Two short pentapeptides rich in α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residues have been shown to act as enantioselective organocatalysts for the conjugate addition of nucleophiles to nitroolefins. An L-alanine terminated peptide, (Aib)(L-Ala)NHBu,...

Martinez-Crespo L, Vitorica-Yrezabal I, Whitehead G, Webb S
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2023 Jul; 62(38):e202307841. PMID: 37429824
Relaying conformational change over several nanometers is central to the function of allosterically regulated proteins. Replicating this mechanism artificially would provide important communication tools, but requires nanometer-sized molecules that reversibly...

Al Nasser H, Martinez-Crespo L, Webb S, Dryfe R
Phys Chem Chem Phys . 2023 Jun; 25(27):18121-18131. PMID: 37382482
Thiourea-based receptors for anions have been widely studied due to their ability to transport anions across phospholipid bilayers. The binding affinity of a tripodal thiourea-based receptor for anions was assessed...

Tilly D, Heeb J, Webb S, Clayden J
Nat Commun . 2023 May; 14(1):2647. PMID: 37156760
Molecular biology achieves control over complex reaction networks by means of molecular systems that translate a chemical input (such as ligand binding) into an orthogonal chemical output (such as acylation...

Wang S, Della Sala F, Cliff M, Whitehead G, Vitorica-Yrezabal I, Webb S
J Am Chem Soc . 2022 Nov; 144(47):21648-21657. PMID: 36379007
Understanding and controlling peptide foldamer conformation in phospholipid bilayers is a key step toward their use as molecular information relays in membranes. To this end, a new F "reporter" tag...

Fallows T, McGrath A, Silva J, McAdams S, Marchesi A, Tuna F, et al.
Nanoscale Adv . 2022 Sep; 1(9):3597-3606. PMID: 36133529
There is a need for biofunctionalised magnetic nanoparticles for many biomedical applications, including MRI contrast agents that have a range of surface properties and functional groups. A library of eleven...
