Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

An unusual series of amphiphilic molecules that form surface films on water have been investigated using a combination of Langmuir¿Blodget, ellispometric, and non-linear laser...

Amphiphiles derived from amino acids are important functional materials. The amino, carboxyl and side chain groups present in the chemical structure of amino acids provide wide...

Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the...

We propose to simultaneously collect diffuse and Bragg scattering in the amino acids L-Serine, L-Alanine, and their joint dipeptide L-Alanine-L-Serine hydrate and ask for 8 days...

The interaction of water with biomolecules is of significant interest. To analyse the spectra, we are employing 2D correlation analysis. This has been used extensively with...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator...

A consortium of several UK universities and industries has been set up, based at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to investigate ¿Length-scale bridging in...
