Biotransformation of fluorobiphenyl by Cunninghamella elegans

Amadio, Jessica ; Murphy, Cormac D. (Springer, 2010)

The fungus Cunninghamella elegans is a useful model of human catabolism of xenobiotics. In this paper, the biotransformation of fluorinated biphenyls by C. elegans was investigated by analysis of the culture supernatants ...
Bacterial defluorination of 4-fluoroglutamic acid

Donnelly, Clár ; Murphy, Cormac D. (Springer, 2007)

Fluorinated amino acids are used as enzyme inhibitors, mechanistic probes and in the production of pharmacologically active peptides. Because enantiomerically pure 4-fluoroglutamate is difficult to prepare, the selective ...
Purification and properties of fluoroacetate dehalogenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 8341

Donnelly, Clár ; Murphy, Cormac D. (Springer, 2009)

The degradation of fluoroacetate by microorganisms has been established for some time, although only a handful of dehalogenases capable of hydrolyzing the stable C-F bond have been studied. The bacterium Pseudomonas ...
Mechanism of Atmospheric CO2 Fixation in the Cavities of a Dinuclear Cryptate

El-Hendawy, Morad M. ; English, Niall J. ; Mooney, Damian A. (ACS Publications, 2012-05-07)

Using density functional theory (DFT) methods, we have investigated two possible mechanisms for atmospheric CO2 fixation in the cavity of the dinuclear zinc (II) octaazacryptate, and the subsequent reaction with methanol ...
Hydrogen bond dynamical properties of adsorbed liquid water monolayers with various TiO2 interfaces

English, Niall J. ; Kavathekar, Ritwik S. ; MacElroy, J. M. Don (Taylor and Francis, 2012-04-12)

Equilibrium classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the hydrogen bonding kinetics of water in contact with rutile-(110), rutile-(101), rutile-(100), and anatase-(101) surfaces at ...
