The Kinetics of Self-Exchange of a Protein at Solid/Liquid interfaces
The formation of a protein corona occurs on all surfaces exposed to biological systems and understanding of how this corona forms is vital for many aspects of medicine and for... -
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... -
Conformational analysis of subtilin / lipid II binary antibiotic/target membr...
Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the... -
Probing the electroactive interface of ionic liquids and their solutions
We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function 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... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for... -
Galvanostatic Dissolution of Multilayer Metal Systems in DES Studed using Eve...
Here we propose a study that will contribute to the final challenges of PhD training programme (Emma Palin). We will study the electrochemical dissolution of a bi-metallic films... -
Dynamic Adsorption of the Fusion Protein HSA-NEP at the Silica-Water Interface
HSA-NEP is a fusion protein with potential uses in treating Alzheimers disease. It consists of Neprilysin, a peptide degrading enzyme, linked to HSA, the most common protein in... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Pd, Ni, V, Nb and Ti capping layer clamping effects in hydrogen cycling in Ca...
We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in... -
The effect of fatty acids on the adsorption of HSA at the silica water interface
The primary biological function of albumins is to be fatty acid carriers. The complexation of fatty acids to the albumin is expected to have a strong effect on its adsorption... -
Kinetics and growth mode of aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes
We will use time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity measurements to follow the in-situ growth of polymer brushes by surface-initiated ATRP. This will enable us to determine... -
Structure of Colloidal Crystals Near a Solid Surface
The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -
Ligand induced changes of the 18kDa translocator protein in a lipid bilayer
The proposed experiments will investigate conformational changes of the 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in a lipid bilayer using neutron reflectometry at the solid-liquid... -
PNR study on the exchange bias propagation in the FM/AFM/FM trilayer with a t...
Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a... -
In situ study of destruction of a denatured surface protein by protease (Savi...
New detergents will increasingly rely on sustainable products and the use of enzymes will become ever more important. However, the process of destruction of stains (often... -
Inducing Magnetic Order in Topological Insulators by Ferromagnetic Insulators
We intend to study a new class of materials known as 3D topological insulators. The electronic states in these materials have a non-trivial topology, different to almost all... -
