Welcome to the St Andrews Research Repository

This is the official institutional research repository for the University of St Andrews. The repository contains electronic theses and research publications including articles, conference proceedings, working papers and some research monographs. It also contains material and publications affiliated to the University and arising from specific projects. Full text content is provided for all research publications in the repository, and wherever possible (following embargoes) for electronic theses.

The University requires submission of an electronic version of theses. For help with electronic thesis deposit see Library webpages on how to submit your electronic copy or contact Digital-Repository@st-andrews.ac.uk.

The full text of research papers can be submitted to the repository via Pure, the University's research information system. For help see our guide: How to deposit in Pure or contact the Open Access team at openaccess@st-andrews.ac.uk.

  • Isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective addition of 4-nitrophenyl esters to iminium ions 

    Arokianathar, Jude N.; Frost, Aileen B.; Slawin, Alexandra M. Z.; Stead, Darren; Smith, Andrew D. (2018-02-02) - Journal article
    Isothioureas catalyze the enantioselective addition of 4-nitrophenyl esters to tetrahydroisoquinoline-derived iminium ions. 4-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the 4-nitrophenyl ...

  • Rescaling migration studies : migration policy-making and implementation at the local government level 

    McCollum, David; Packwood, Helen (2017-12-12) - Journal article
    How ‘the state’ perceives and responds to migration is gaining increasing attention. This analysis seeks to encourage debate on scales of governance in migration studies through a focus on policy-making and implementation ...

  • Spatial and structural metrics for living cells inspired by statistical mechanics 

    Åberg, Christoffer; Varela, Juan A; Fitzpatrick, Laurence W; Dawson, Kenneth A (2016-10-06) - Journal article
    Experimental observations in cell biology have advanced to a stage where theory could play a larger role, much as it has done in the physical sciences. Possibly the lack of a common framework within which experimentalists, ...

  • Optical structural analysis of individual α-synuclein oligomers 

    Varela, Juan A; Rodrigues, Margarida; De, Suman; Flagmeier, Patrick; Gandhi, Sonia; Dobson, Christopher M; Klenerman, David; Lee, Steven F (2018-04-23) - Journal article
    Small aggregates of misfolded proteins play a key role in neurodegenerative disorders. Such species have proved difficult to study due to the lack of suitable methods capable of resolving these heterogeneous aggregates, ...

  • Toward the suppression of cellular toxicity from single-walled carbon nanotubes 

    Gao, Zhenghong; Varela, Juan A; Groc, Laurent; Lounis, Brahim; Cognet, Laurent (2016-02) - Journal item
    In the multidisciplinary fields of nanobiology and nanomedicine, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have shown great promise due to their unique morphological, physical and chemical properties. However, understanding ...
