Effect of Phosphatidylserine lipids on Tissue Factor structure and function i...
Tissue Factor (TF) is the membrane protein responsible for the initiation of the blood coagulation process [1]. In case of a vessel injury, the TF is exposed to the blood stream... -
Effect of squalene on membrane structure and Amphotericin B resistance in Can...
The yeast Candida glabrata is becoming an increasing cause of infections. We have developed RNA interference tools that allow us to study the virulence and resistance mechanisms... -
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... -
Adsorption Kinetics and Structure of Silicatein Mediated Silica Films
The fabrication of composite coatings based on silica with well defined physical properties represents a promising new approach to fine-tune mechanical, optical, electronic, and... -
Structural insight into the mechanistic process of permeabilization into mode...
The aim of this study is to try to understand how antimicrobial peptides bind to model lipid monolayers mimicking different cell membrane types. Following our previous work,... -
NR characterization of aquaporin-containing silica-reinforced supported PC bi...
Despite the abundancy of sea water there are 663 million people that lack access to safe drinking water. This is due to excessive energy consumption and hence cost coupled to... -
Adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/copper oxide surface from non-aqueous...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) has been known to be a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys. Adsorption of BTAH from oil is a relatively less researched area... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
Solid-supported lipid bilayers for studying mechanosensitive ion channels: to...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
Surfactant Modified Salivary Pellicles
Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,... -
Satisfying the need for contrast in antimicrobial research
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -
Effect of saponin-rich plant extracts on skin-mimicking model lipid bilayers
Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties... -
Interaction between Rubisco and SDOBS at an air-water interface
Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most... -

Probing the interactions of chitosan with lipid bilayers to elucidate its ant...
Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide that is biocompatible and biodegradable. Chitosan has a number of unique chemical and biological features including its cationic nature and... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in alkali/urea aqueous solution
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based polymers,... -
Examination of the Membrane Structure of Live Bacteria using Neutron Reflecto...
We propose to investigate in-vivo cell membrane structure of gram-positive (B. subtilis) and gram-negative (S. oneidensis) bacteria adhered to a silicon oxide surface using... -
The use of lipid sponge-like nanoparticles as carriers for macromolecules and...
Conventional ways to administer and deliver drugs have reached its limitations. These methods can be still used for small and simple molecules. However, new carriers have to be... -
Morphology of poly(ethylene-oxide)-ionic liquid mixtures: the role of hydroge...
We propose to explore the morphology of binary mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide), a biomimetic macromolecule, and two different ionic liquids, differing in their hydrogen bonding...
