Expression proteomics study to determine metallodrug targets and optimal drug combinations

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kai Johnsson, David Hacker, Claire Samantha Allardyce

The emerging technique termed functional identification of target by expression proteomics (FITExP) has been shown to identify the key protein targets of anti-cancer drugs. Here, we use this approach to elucidate the proteins involved in the mechanism of a ...

Vector Control in Developing Countries: Challenges and Solutions

Michael Graetzel, Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

Undoubtedly, reducing vector populations or their interactions with hosts below a critical level is a practical and proven method of disease control. Introduction of insecticide-treated bed nets has significantly reduced malaria in some parts of the world. ...

Hydrolysis study of the bifunctional antitumor compound RAPTA-C, [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(pta)]

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger, Claire Samantha Allardyce, Claudine Scolaro

The hydrolysis of [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(PTA)] (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decanephosphine; RAPTA-C) was studied using UV-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry and NMR spectroscopy. In analogy to in silico studies, [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl(H2O)(PTA) ...
