How family 26 glycoside hydrolases orchestrate catalysis on different polysaccharides: Structure and activity of a Clostridium thermocellum lichenase, CtLic26A (2005)
Journal Article

One of the most intriguing features of the 90 glycoside hydrolase families (GHs) is the range of specificities displayed by different members of the same family, whereas the catalytic apparatus and mechanism are often invariant. Family GH26 predomina...

Journal Article
Brewster, S. (2005). Rites of defilement: abjection and the body politic in Northern Irish poetry. Irish University Review, 35(2), 304-319

It might be argued that Northern Ireland--a territorial and signifying space whose meanings and boundaries have been so violently contested, a body politic sustained and racked by anomalous and permeable partition--has been in the condition of abject...
