Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
Structural modelling of meibomian lipid films
Meibomian lipids spread on the surface of tears to enable formation of a stable film. Our data show that meibum forms duplex films that have physical properties not emulated by... -
Application of direct inversion to magnetic contrast datasets.
We have developed an experimental approach using a buried magnetic layer to provide contrast in systems consisting of complex biomolecular layers tethered to gold surfaces. This... -
Structure of Meibomian lpid films at the air-water interface using
The tear film of the eye has an outer meibomian lipid layer (TFLL) that allows tears to spread across the eye and remain stable. Our Langmuir trough and other studies show that...
