Chemical Reporters for Investigating Lipidated Proteins at the Host-Pathogen Interface
… chemical reporters that afford more sensitive detection and proteomic analysis of fatty-acylated and prenylated proteins using bioorthogonal ligation methods. Alkynyl-fatty acids of 14 and 18 carbons afforded enhanced detection of N-myristoylated and S-palmitoylated proteins, respectively, …

Multidimensional Protein Separations in a Plastic Microfluidic Network
… reduction in sample consumption together with enhanced detection sensitivity. In order to further reduce sample consumption and dead volume, an isoelectric focusing separation and dynamic sample introduction are demonstrated in a microfluidic microchannel. The dynamic sample introduction in …

Split Ring Resonator (SRR) based metamaterials
… resonators (A-SRRs) are utilised for the optical detection of very thin film organic compounds. It is further shown that by localising the organic compound to specific regions of the A-SRRs, greater enhancement in optical detection could be achieved. Finally, the same property of A-SRRs are …
