Assembling floating, very sparsely tethered, protein-lipid bilayers.
We have recently used Polref in to measure the assembly of tethered floating lipid bilayers. These are useful models of biological membranes in which a phospholipid bilayer is... -
Characterisation of novel, sequence specific protein/protein and protein/DNA ...
Gene (nucleic acid) delivery to the cytosol or nucleus of a cell is, without the aid of a suitable delivery system, an inefficient process. Here the interaction of a defined... -
Polyoxometallate surfactant adsorption at solution surfaces
Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these... -
Adsorption Structures of Organics additives at the Iron/Oil Interface and the...
Numerous chemical additives have been added to steel surfaces to improve adhesion, and prohibit corrosion if the substrate is reactive to its surrounding environs. This... -
Protein exchange at the solid/liquid interface
The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins... -
A neutron study of capability of aggregation of the Abeta1-40, Abeta1-42 and ...
The aim of the proposed SANS experiment is to study the capability of aggregation, the shape and the size of aggregates of three amyloid peptides named (Abeta1-40, Abeta1-42 and... -
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study of the Adsorption of Amine ¿functionalis...
Amine-functionalised poly(alkylene oxides) are used extensively as swelling inhibitors in water-based drilling fluids. This study will broaden our understanding of the mechanism... -
The impact of synthetic perfumes on surfactant self-assembly.
This proposal is part of a broad collaboration between Oxford, CCLRC, and Unilever in the study of surfactants and mixed surfactants at interfaces and in solution. This is an... -
Using the nano discs approach at surfaces to determine the relation between s...
Membrane bound proteins continue to be to date the most elusive molecules in nature, since they are only functional in the lipid bilayer. We have developed a method to study... -
Understanding the insertion of antibiotic toxins into the gram negative outer...
The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. Two of its major components are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and integral membrane proteins. Porins are... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Quasi elastic Neutron Scattering Study on Photoresponsive Cell Membranes
The integration of light sensitive materials in biotargets can allow the use of light as precise tool to control their bioactivity. Azobenzenes is largely used for these tasks,... -
The interaction of novel gold supraparticles with model lipid membranes
Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) found large application in medicine as theranostic materials for the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. The understanding of the interactions... -
pH-Responsive Polyelectrolyte Brushes Studied by Neutron Reflectivity and in ...
pH-responsive polymer brushes comprise of long polymer chains of either a weak acid or base chemically attached to a surface. Depending upon the degree of ionisation along the... -
How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -
The Second Critical Point and Widom line of supercooled confined water
In 1992 P. Poole and coworkers have proposed the existence of two water polymorphs below its homogenous nucleation temperature. These are separated by a coexistence line ending... -
Polymerisation of Styrene in PEI-Surfactant Films on Si Wafers
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly organised mesostructures formed in the... -
Polymer displacement by surfactant at colloidal interface
The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the...
