Studying the Hydration Properties of Green Hybrid Nanocomposite Cellulose Films
We are investigating innovative hybrid organic/inorganic multilayered films comprising alternated layers of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and Gibbsite platelets (GW). CNCs are... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant on the surface of water
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively... -

Intra-membrane lipid flipping in model lipid membranes
Lipid compositional variation across the cell's membranes as well as asymmetry between two contiguous monolayers in the same membrane are critical for alive and healthy cells.... -
Adsorption of perfluoroalkyl substances to solid soil interface to elucidate ...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous... -
Determining the membrane binding structure of drug-delivery polymers
This proposal seeks to investigate a class of synthetic membrane-active biopolymers which have been developed as potential drug-delivery agents. These polymers have shown pH-... -
Detailed Structure of Phospholipid Bilayers from Multiple Contrast Neutron Re...
In recent monolayer measurements, we have developed models for obtaining detailed structural information of phospholipid structures. The models employ a 'quasimolecular'... -
INS studies of copper sulphate pentahydrate - two birds with one stone.
Copper sulphate pentahydrate is one of the iconic substances of chemistry. The characteristic dark blue colour is the result of the water present: four molecules are coordinated... -
Caffeine and the issue of hydrophobic hydration
Caffeine is a prototypical example of a planar, heteroatomic bicyclic, aromatic ring compound that, although somewhat polar, exhibits limited aqueous solubility and is... -
Adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfac...
This proposal is to explore adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfactant anions (see Figure 1) at the air-water interface, as a function of... -
Concerted proton tunnelling in ordinary ice
In a recent study we showed, by incoherent elastic and quasielastic neutron scattering measurements, the existence of non-harmonic motion of hydrogen in ordinary ice. The motion... -
Neutron diffraction from polyunsaturated multibilayer membranes containing a ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary fats that have been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and auto-immune diseases, arthritis and cancer. PUFA... -
Examining the Structural Changes of a Central Nervous System Neurotransmitter...
GluR0 is a glutamate sensitive potassium ion channel from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis which has been identified via primary structural sequencing to be similar to... -
Membrane interactions of virus-like silica nanoparticles as antimicrobial pep...
As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,... -
Formation of asymmetric free-standing bilayers with lipopolysaccharide in the...
We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on POLREF and... -
Adsorption of Monoclonal Antibodies at the Solid/liquid Interface
We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of... -
Interactions of polyfluorinated substances with a phospholipid bilayer
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...
