Structure determination of solution aggregation of single alkyl chain PC surf...
We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of... -
Is there a CMC for surfactants in non-aqueous solvents?
The aim of this project is to use SANS to determine if a critical micelle concentration (CMC) exists for the formation of inverse micelles in non-polar solvents. The CMC is a... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril growth using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal aims use a novel approach whereby deuterated amyloid peptide fibrils are givenhydrogenated growing ends, and analysed using SANS. The data will enable us to... -
Using SANS2D to resolve the opening of MscL clusters in proteoliposomes in re...
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the... -
Using SANS2D to determine the size of MscL clusters in proteoliposomes
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the... -
Structure-function studies of Replication Protein A, a crucial player in geno...
Replication protein A (RPA), the eukaryotic ssDNA binding protein, is a heterotrimeric protein required for almost all aspects of cellular DNA metabolism. RPA binds... -
Contrast-matching experiments to quantify pore connectivity in dolomites
Geologists are increasingly realizing the unique perspective that neutron scattering offersforunlocking the complex geologic histories of rocks. In this study, we propose to... -
Effect of terminal blocking groups on solution aggregation of short peptide f...
Short peptide sequences such as KLVFFAE form well defined beta sheet structures. Their further templating through hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding is the principal...
