Purothionin binding to model fungal lipid membranes
Purothionins and defensins are basic, amphiphilic, cysteine-rich and low molecular weight plant defence proteins. These proteins are active against a broad range of... -
Neutron reflectometry from surface of liquid 3He/4He film on silicon wafer
A superfluid helium film can host a variety of exotic quantum phenomena, such as the topological BerezinskiiKosterlitzThouless transition, Rollins film flow and Third sound.... -
Quantifying antibiotic resistance using bacterial model membranes
The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from toxins such as antibiotics and is partially responsible for the rapid rise in antibiotic resistance in... -
Designing a model of the epithelial apical plasma membrane to facilitate stud...
This beam time application aims to provide preliminary data to support a wider research programme and grant application that will seek to develop a sophisticated and effective... -
Tackling antimicrobial resistance: structural study of the Annexin A5/Lipopol...
Antimicrobial resistance is a global epidemic and has occurred due to a widespread antibiotic overconsumption. Gram negative bacteria, such as P. aeruginosa (leading cause of... -
More realistic models of the bacterial outer membrane
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... -
Probing the origin of the superconducting spin-valve effect
Inter-layer exchange coupling through charge and/or spin carriers is the key control mechanism for the field of nano-magnetism and is often coupled to other spintronic effects,... -
Investigating artificial multiferroic structures using polarised neutron refl...
Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that... -
Monitoring the formation of surface-enriched PbI2 in atmospherically treated ...
Metal halide perovskites have enabled remarkable advancements in low-cost, high-performance optoelectronics, however their performance potential is restricted by an incomplete... -
Part A: Binding behaviour of PAMAMs G5 and G4.5 to zwitterionic and anionic l...
Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug... -

Neutron reflectivity for lithium battery SEI formation
We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance.... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Bacterial Membrane...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
Determination of interfacial dead layers and magnetic uniformity in half-meta...
Co-based Heusler alloys are predicted to be an ideal material for spintronics due to their high Curie temperature and potential in magnetic heterostructrue devices. We have... -
Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
We have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) largely remains in the film after spin-coating acting as a... -
