Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most...

A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We...

We have developed a Self-assembled floating supported membrane sample system comprised of unsaturated phospholipid bilayers held ~1nm from a PEGylated charged alkane thiol SAM...

Hydrophobins are small compact secreted fungal proteins which are strongly surface active and adhere to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Their strong surface activity...

In this work, we propose to exploit the unique capability of neutron reflection (NR) to study the structural changes of multi-component lipid monolayer models mimicking...

We will use specular and off-specular neutron reflectivity to provide a structural mechanism for the way in which the amphipathic peptide pinholin controls bacterial cell lysis...

Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it...
