Structural examination of aqueous perchlorate at low temperature
In 2008 NASA¿s Phoenix Lander mission landed on the surface of Mars to complete physical and chemical analyses aimed at characterising the history of water and potential... -
Supramolecular assemblies of arginine and their impact on protein aggregation
Arginine is an important molecule which utilised in industrial, biochemical and medical research to aid in the successful refolding of proteins and to resist the effects of... -
Low temperature studies of glycerol and aqueous glycerol
Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific... -
Structural comparison of peptidomimetic building blocks
Peptidomimetics are synthetic mimics of peptides, the natural building blocks of proteins, and their development is a growing field of science. An underlying theme in recent... -
A model system to study the important interactions of proteins from extreme e...
Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to... -
Structural characterization of a synthetic peptoid monomer
Peptoids are synthetic mimics of peptides (the natural building blocks of proteins) in which the side chain is attached to the backbone amide nitrogen instead of the central... -
Cryopreservation in biological systems: glutamine as a model system to study ...
Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of...
