Understanding the interfacial behaviour of bile salts to better engineer lipi...
The current project aims at elucidating how bile salts (BS) structure influences their interfacial behaviour and their impact on fat digestion. Neutron reflectivity (NR) is the... -
Role of apolipoprotein E variant on HDL interactions at model cell membranes
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in western society, its consequences such as strokes and heart attacks arise from the build-up of plaques of fat which accumulate... -
Membrane Composition-Dependent Interaction between Beta-Arrestins and Lipid M...
Beta-arrestins are proteins that regulate GPCR signaling, e.g. by recruiting endocytic components to remove the receptor from the plasma membrane. Our fluorescence microscopy... -
Molecular architecture of monolayers formed by novel sterol-modified phosphol...
A family of sterol-modified glycerophospholipids (SML) have been synthesized in which the sn-1 or sn-2 position is covalently attached to cholesterol and the alternative... -
The effect of an applied electric field on the adsorption and desorption of s...
A major influence on particles and amphiphile adsorption, particularly for charged materials is the surface potential. Recent experiments have shown that this can be manipulated... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
Structure of oxidised phospholipid bilayers
Biological membranes protect cells and are essential for their survival and damaged membranes may cause serious harm to the cell. A primary cause of damage to membranes is... -

Planar bilayer formation on novel cationic surface suitable for membrane prot...
Membrane receptor proteins (MRPs) which are thought to represent the majority of drug targets are challenging to study as their structure and function is dependent on being... -
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.... -
Adsorption of proteins from Moringa seeds at the air/solution interface
Proteins from Moringa trees have attracted considerable interest as flocculents for water purification and possibly as materials for remediation of contaminated soil.... -
The effect of bilayer rigidity on the interactions with perfluoroalkyl compounds
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are used extensively in industrial products although have been identified as emerging pollutants accumulating in wildlife and environment.... -
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... -
Chloride Intracellular Channel insertion into Tethered Bilayer Membranes
Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer... -
Interactions of modified clupeines with Gram-negative model bilayers
Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active... -
Lagtimes in the adsorption of proteins at the air/water interface
Adsorption of proteins at all surfaces has a characteristic lagtime which can be monitored by surface tension at the air/water interface. The cause of the lagtime is not... -
Investigation of the interactions of perfluoroalkyl substances with model wor...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are fully fluorinated, stabile, and surface-active compounds. They contain both a hydrophobic fluorinated carbon chain and an ionizable... -
Adsorption of concentrated Aerosol-OT to Sapphire ¿ the effect of divalent sa...
AOT is also known to be very sensitive to the concentration and nature of counter-ions. When adding a sufficient amount of divalent salt to an AOT solution, a very strong Bragg... -
Exploratory SERGIS/SESANS study of Si nanowires
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science as nanometer probes and interfacing with cells. In our work we focus on the interaction between nanowires and a... -
Insoluble layer formation in polymer bilayers
In a previous neutron reflectivity(NR) measurement (RB620370) on CRISP, we showed that the insoluble interlayer formed between the charge injection layer and a semiconducting...
