Journal Article
Alamrani, N. A., Greenway, G. M., Pamme, N., Goddard, N. J., & Gupta, R. (2019). A feasibility study of a leaky waveguide aptasensor for thrombin. Analyst, 144(20), 6048-6054. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9an01421g

This proof-of-principle study demonstrates the feasibility of a leaky waveguide (LW) aptasensor, where aptamers were immobilised in a mesoporous chitosan waveguiding film for the detection of thrombin. This work has demonstrated that aptamers immobil... Read More about A feasibility study of a leaky waveguide aptasensor for thrombin.

Due to the rapid increase in routine measurement of biomarkers, such as a protein, in blood samples for healthcare monitoring, different techniques have been developed to facilitate this measurement in terms of cost-effective and fast measurement. La... Read More about An optical label-free aptasensor based on dye doped leaky waveguide (DDLW) for biomarker detection.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel porous materials for environmental remediation (2019)
Thesis
AI-Mashaykhi, Z. H. A. (2019). Synthesis and evaluation of novel porous materials for environmental remediation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224341

Porous materials have been widely used as adsorbents for water treatment due to their unique properties such as high surface area, excellent mechanical properties and good chemical stability. The work in this thesis aimed to develop novel porous mate... Read More about Synthesis and evaluation of novel porous materials for environmental remediation.

A method for determining average iron content of ferritin by measuring its optical dispersion (2019)
Journal Article
Gupta, R., Alamrani, N. A., Greenway, G. M., Pamme, N., & Goddard, N. J. (2019). A method for determining average iron content of ferritin by measuring its optical dispersion. Analytical chemistry, 91(11), 7366-7372. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.9b01231

© 2019 American Chemical Society. We report a method where the refractive index increments of an iron storage protein, ferritin, and apoferritin (ferritin minus iron) were measured over the wavelength range of 450-678 nm to determine the average iron...

Boosting the antimicrobial action of vancomycin formulated in shellac nanoparticles of dual-surface functionality (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Obaidy, S. S., Halbus, A. F., Greenway, G. M., & Paunov, V. N. (2019). Boosting the antimicrobial action of vancomycin formulated in shellac nanoparticles of dual-surface functionality. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 7(19), 3119-3133. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8tb03102a

We report a strong amplification of the antimicrobial action of vancomycin (VCM) encapsulated in shellac nanoparticles (NPs) with dual surface functionalisation. These shellac nanocarriers for VCM were produced in two steps: (i) a pH drop from aqueou...
