The dynamics of wild type and mutated myelin proteins P2 and CNPase.
The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of... -
The effect of particles on the structure of mucin ¿ understanding the challen...
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Spontaneously Segregated Polymer Brush Structure
This study intends to elucidate how molecular hairy or brush-like structures form on different flat surfaces. When molecule chains form a densely packed assembly on a surface... -
Verifying recycling and reshaping activity on Copper and Early Bronze Age met...
The aim of this study is to determinate the production methods of metal artefacts from the Alpine region in the Copper and Early Bronze Age. In particular, patterns indicating... -
Aggregation effects on long length scales in solutions for organic photovolta...
Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of... -
Investigating the response of lipid bilayers to physically structured substrates
The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid... -
30 T High Magnetic Field Neutron Diffraction on Multi-ferroic TbMnO3
The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed... -
Characterisation of the impact of weakly polar interactions on the vibrationa...
The present proposal is part of a project to formulate a quantitative synergy between experiment and theory, complimenting the results the applicants have already established in... -
Structural Studies of Complex Mixed-Metal Pyrochlore and Spinel Oxides
Our objective is to determine structural models for some complex, mixed-metal oxide phases that are as complete as possible using analysis of PDFs produced from total neutron... -
Contrast matching of selectively deuterated glycerides for scattering studies...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be formed from glycerides and loaded with diverse cargo for healthcare applications. A key advantage of LNPs over liposomes is the significant... -
The application of INS to examine high specification Fe Fischer-Tropsch catal...
Over the last 4-5 years the research team have been developing INS methodology that can be applied to investigate Fe Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts. The first stage of that... -
Morphology and Phase Diagram of Thermoresponsive Polymer-Protein Conjugates
Using an enzyme mediated conjugation method we have prepared well-designed protein-polymer conjugates using a model protein, green fluorescent protein (GFP) with... -
Studying the phase diagram of Ba2-xSrxRuO4 by muSR
Sr2RuO4 is an unconventional superconductor below ~1.5 K while its sister compound Ca2RuO4 is a Mott insulator and antiferromagnetic below ~110 K. The rich phenomena in the... -
Structural studies of thermal responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
It has been shown that gel particles are able to stabilize the oil-water interface and forming emulsions ( the so called "Pickering emulsions"). It has also been shown that...
