Effect of Phosphatidylserine lipids on Tissue Factor structure and function i...
Tissue Factor (TF) is the membrane protein responsible for the initiation of the blood coagulation process [1]. In case of a vessel injury, the TF is exposed to the blood stream... -
Surfactants at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time... -
Partial structural study at the oil-water interface
In our previous experiment we determined a value for the interfacial width of bare hexadecane-water interface. The NR-determined width was 6.0 ± 1.0 Å, which compares well with... -
The hydrophobic interaction A peptides and a lipid monolayer at the o...
This proposal relates to the study on the fundamental level, the hydrophobic interaction A peptides and a lipid monolayer at the oil-water interface. NR will be used to... -
Organisation of Outer membrane protein F at the air/liquid interface
Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to... -
Conformation of di-stearoyl-polyethylene glycol surfactants as enhancers of b...
This proposal relates to the structural studies of Di-stearoyl and di-palmitoyl Polyethylene glycol derivates as a function of the PEG head group at the air-water and the... -
Effect of alkyl chain length on the adsorption of n-alkyl phosphocholine surf...
This proposal relates to the study of adsorption of n-dodecyl phosphocholine (C12PC) at the oil-water interface. The thickness of the adsorbed monolayers measured for dC12hPC... -
Structural studies of surfactants at the metal-aqueous interface
This proposal relates to the structural studies of cationic surfactant adsorption on an iron oxide metal surface. The driving force for the adsorption of cationic surfactants to... -
Surfactants at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. In this experiment we would like to extend... -
Macrocyclic ligands at the oil-water interface
Azacrown ethers and a mixture of azacrown ethers and fatty acids have been studied at the oil-water interface using surface-pressure isotherms and other classical surface... -
Structural studies of protein at the oil-water interface
We would like to measure the adsorption isotherm for protein, milk B-casein using neutron reflectometery at the oil-water interface. These measurements will be carried out for...
