Breaking promises and raising taxes: rhetorical path dependence and policy dysfunction in time
(Australian Journal of Political Science, 2016)Where historical institutionalists have stressed the path-dependent efficiencies that stabilise policy orders, their rationalist assumptions have increasingly obscured the scope for instability. To redress such oversights, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Exploring bacterial heparinase II activities with defined substrates
(ChemBioChem, 2015)Bacterial heparinases that cleave heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin are widely used to generate low‐molecular‐weight heparins (LMWHs) and to structurally and functionally characterise heparin and HS biomolecules. We provide ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -

Access to 3-O-Functionalized N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Scaffolds
(Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2015)Direct access to 3-O-functionalized 2-α-N-acetylneuraminides and their corresponding 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid derivatives is described. Initially, a stereoselective ring-opening of the key intermediate ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The Catalytic Mechanism of Human Parainfluenza Virus Type 3 Haemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Revealed
(Angewandte Chemie (International Edition), 2015)Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV-3) is one of the leading causes for lower respiratory tract disease in children, with neither an approved antiviral drug nor vaccine available to date. Understanding the catalytic ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Characterization of the N-glycans of female Angiostrongylus cantonensis worms
(Experimental Parasitology, 2016)Glycoconjugates play a crucial role in the host-parasite relationships of helminthic infections, including angiostrongyliasis. It has previously been shown that the antigenicity of proteins from female Angiostrongylus ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Offense Trajectories, the Unfolding of Sexual and Non-Sexual Criminal Activity, and Sex Offense Characteristics of Adolescent Sex Offenders
(Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 2016)The current study examines offending trajectories of adolescent sexual offenders (ASOs). Until recently, classification frameworks have not been designed to account for the heterogeneity of offending patterns in adolescence, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Role of individual disulfide bridges in the conformation and activity of spinoxin (α-KTx6.13), a potassium channel toxin from Heterometrus spinifer scorpion venom
(Toxicon, 2016)Spinoxin (SPX; α-KTx6.13), isolated from venom of the scorpion Heterometrus spinifer, is a K+ channel-specific peptide toxin (KTx), which adopts a cysteine-stabilized α/β scaffold that is cross-linked by four disulfide ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Active Sites of Spinoxin, a Potassium Channel Scorpion Toxin, Elucidated by Systematic Alanine Scanning
(Biochemistry, 2016)Peptide toxins from scorpion venoms constitute the largest group of toxins that target the voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv). Spinoxin (SPX) isolated from the venom of scorpion Heterometrus spinifer is a 34-residue ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Re-evaluation of forest biomass carbon stocks and lessons from the world's most carbon-dense forests
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009)From analysis of published global site biomass data (n = 136) from primary forests, we discovered (i) the world's highest known total biomass carbon density (living plus dead) of 1,867 tonnes carbon per ha (average value ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
