A mutant allele of the β-chemokine receptor gene CCR5 bearing a 32-basepair (bp) deletion (denoted Δccr5) which prevents cell invasion by the primary transmitting strain of HIV-1 has recently been… (More)
We have analysed 3380 chromosomes (1690 unrelated individuals) from twenty-four populations for the presence of factor V Leiden, an important risk factor in venous thromboembolism. The allele… (More)
The judicious application of ligand or binding efficiency metrics, which quantify the molecular properties required to obtain binding affinity for a drug target, is gaining traction in the selection… (More)
Genomic DNA from 106 cases of adult de novo acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis for FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations… (More)
Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (ITPase) deficiency is a common inherited condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of inosine triphosphate (ITP) in erythrocytes. The genetic… (More)
The primary reaction of photosynthesis is light-driven charge separation, carried out in reaction centres, which are complexes of integral membrane proteins and cofactors. The recent determination of… (More)
Here, we describe the identification of a clinical candidate via structure-based optimization of a ligand efficient pyrazole-benzimidazole fragment. Aurora kinases play a key role in the regulation… (More)
