Abstract:
Identifying the intracellular targets of small molecules – target ID – is a major problem in chemical biology with broad application to the discovery and development of novel therapies. Traditional target ID studies have relied on drug-affinity chromatography to separate biological mixtures combined with mass spectrometry shotgun sequencing for peptide identification. This workflow is limited, however, by low specificity for unique peptides, high demand for cellular material, unknown depth of profiling, and other problems. To address these problems, we explore and describe here a novel strateg

This research developed a biosensor for kinase drug discovery applications. In particular it combined electronic techniques with optical techniques to understand the phosphorylation of proteins. There are two major electronic characteristics of phosphorylation that aid in its detection and subsequently biosensor development: first is the release of a proton upon phosphorylation of a protein (change in pH) and second is the addition of negative charge to the protein upon its phosphorylation.

Within a number of industries, and particularly within the pharmaceutical industry, there is a desire for reliable, high yielding routes towards large numbers of valuable small molecules that allow a wide range of products to be synthesised.

A drawback of many traditional routes towards heterocyclic compounds is that the range of substituents that may be placed around the ring is limited. This is especially limiting if ring substitue

Abstract:
Of the plethora of parasitic diseases that afflict mankind, malaria remains the most significant with 100-300 million cases reported annually and 600,000 fatalities. Treatment and control measures have been hampered by the emergence of drug resistance to most antimalarial therapies. Early signs of drug resistance to the current frontline option, the artemisinins, make it imperative that novel drug candidates are discovered. One possible short-term solution is drug repositioning, via screening existing FDA-approved (Food and Drug Administration agency) drug libraries for antimalarial activity.

The unique chemical properties of fluorine atom (high electronegativity, high ionization potential, low polarizability and low van der Waals interactions) modify the chemical properties of organic compounds as well as their reactivity when hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorines.

Additionally, the low polarizability of fluorines leads to weaker van der Waals interactions, which makes fluorocarbons lipophobic.

Abstract:
This thesis details the current methods for meta-selective C-H functionalisation and contains three chapters relating to the area of ruthenium catalysed meta selective functionalisation by σ-activation. The first of which contains a published manuscript entitled “Catalytic meta-selective C-H functionalization to construct quaternary carbon centres” and describes a meta selective tertiary alkylation procedure on 2-phenylpyridine substrates. Key findings from this work provide good evidence for a radical based mechanism and proposes a catalytic cycle involving two distinct roles for the rutheniu

Abstract:
A major bottleneck in drug discovery is the production of soluble human recombinant protein for functional, biochemical and structural analyses. The level of recombinant protein expression is controlled by a complex relationship between both biological and engineering variables. Due to the inter-play between these variables and standard experimental methods, the identification of the key variables which lead to improved protein expression can sometimes be missed. This thesis presents a framework which underpins the generation of large quantities of soluble recombinant protein in E. coli in a r

Abstract:
The increasing emergence of resistance to commonly used therapies has placed a huge strain on the prevention and control of malaria; therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antimalarial agents. The aim of this research was to design and synthesise a library of potent antimalarial compounds, with desirable pharmacokinetic profiles, in order to identify a drug candidate suitable for preclinical development. This research was divided into two main sections: x The synthesis of compounds deigned to inhibit IspD, a novel target in antimalarial drug discovery x The late stage development
