Effect of squalene on membrane structure and Amphotericin B resistance in Can...
The yeast Candida glabrata is becoming an increasing cause of infections. We have developed RNA interference tools that allow us to study the virulence and resistance mechanisms... -
Effect of membrane fluidity for novel dendrimer drug interaction and uptake m...
Bacteria growing resistant to common antibiotics is a growing problem and research in new types of medicines which do not induce resistance is therefore very important. Novel... -
Nanodiscs films at the air-water interface
Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble... -
Designing a model of the epithelial apical plasma membrane to facilitate stud...
This beam time application aims to provide preliminary data to support a wider research programme and grant application that will seek to develop a sophisticated and effective... -
A new approach to look at membrane in plane organisation via giSANS
Biological membrane in plane organisation is a challenging topic, specially since it has been suggested to depend on curvature. So far the main approach to study curvature... -
Interaction of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase with ubiquinone in model li...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a membrane-bound enzyme of clinical interest and a well-validated drug target for e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.... -

The Kinetics of Ethanol Adsorption into Cholesterol Rich Bilayers
In a recent experiment carried out on SURF we have shown that on addition of ethanol to a DPPC model membrane, the anaesthetic initially diffuses to the bilayer surface followed... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of amphotericin with model ce...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿... -
Lipid exchange between high density lipoprotein (HDL) and model phosphatidylc...
Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related...
