The characterisation of a recombinant cytosolic shuttle based on ricin toxin
Cytosolic access is rate limiting for potential therapeutics such as antisense agents. In nature, several entities deliver macromolecules to the cytosol, one example being ricin toxin (RT). In this thesis, a cytosolic drug delivery system based upon attenuated RT was characterised. The …

Extracellular Electron Shuttle Mediated Biodegradation of Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-Triazine
Bioremediation is one suggested technology for hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), as well as alternate explosive contaminants. The potential use of extracellular electron shuttling compounds to mediate electron transfer between iron (hydr)oxides and Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms was …

Extracellular Electron Shuttle Mediated Biodegradation of Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine
… metallireducens, a model Fe(III)- and electron shuttle-reducing microorganism, utilize electron shuttles to stimulate cyclic nitramine reduction at rates significantly faster than those previously reported. This work was the first to demonstrate electron shuttle-mediated nitramine biodegradation …
