Structural Observation of the Self-Assembly Kinetics of Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be... -
Neutron scattering and selective deuteration for elucidating how lipids regul...
Plants biosynthesise valuable pharmaceutical compounds by a series of enzyme complexes (or metabolons) that work in a concerted action. Metabolons enhance substrate channeling... -
Probing the Kinetics of Assembly and Triggered Dispersion of Peptide-Function...
Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple... -
Aggregation behaviour of aqueous hairy rod conjugated polyelectrolyte/surfact...
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to characterise the structures of aggregates formed between the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte... -
Understanding the properties of phosphlipid-homopolymer self assembles
We hope to explore the self assembly properties of a novel chain end functionalised homopolymer to better understand its structure and enable tuning of its properties to enable... -
Structure of oil-in-water microemulsions containing eutectic mixtures of ment...
Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...
