Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our...

There is currly great interest in the use of neutron reflection to study model bilayers. We have produced a model membrane system that is strongly associated with the substrate,...

We propose to investigate the role of lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model membranes and the effects of target membrane structure and composition. A comparison...

At a recent experiment at the ILL using D22, we made an incidental observation that addition of hydrophilic silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NP; D~14 nm) induced alignment in the...

The mechanism of general anaesthetic action is poorly understood despite their widespread use. It is hoped that investigating the interaction of anaesthetics with lipid bilayers...

Plants do not have the sophisticated immunoglobulin immune systems of vertibrates, instead they posses a series of stimuli based responses which defend against pathogentic...

'Floating LSupported Bilayers' (FSB's) have become the 'standard' systems used for studying membrane systems using reflectivity at ISIS and other facilities. They are reliable,...

Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the...

Current model systems employed in structural studies of bacterial outer membranes rarely mimic the lipid composition accurately. This work is aimed at producing outer membrane...

Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer...

In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied...

Puroindolines are basic, cysteine rich proteins of ~13KDa, which have attracted significant interest due to their role in determining the endosperm texture of Wheat and seed...

We have recently developed novel ternary lipopolyplex vectors (i.e. gene delivery vectors containing cationic lipid, plasmid DNA and a cationic peptide) in which, for the first...

Between September 2016 and August 2017, we conducted year-long reciprocal transplantation experiments using the cold-water coral Desmophyllum dianthus along natural...

Fatty acid composition data for the two dominant copepods in the mesocosms (Paracalanus sp. and Hemicyclops sp.).

Zooplankton species/groups abundance table per mesocosm and sampling day. Abundances are given as individual per m-3 and individuals per liter.

Dataset associated with: Caillon, C., Fleury, E., Di Poi, C., Gazeau, F., and Pernet, F. Food availability, but not emersion, influences the combined effects of ocean...

Transcripts of relevant enzymes of the storage lipid metabolism were obtained from already existing transcriptomes that are available in the NCBI database...

The storage lipid metabolism of two caridean shrimp species (Crangon crangon and Pandalus montagui) was studied through a combination of enzyme assays, total lipid determination...
