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...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

Biological membrane mimics are a bottle neck in biophysical studies today. The need to develop advanced models that actually represent the properties of specific cellular...

Multi metal deposition (MMD) is a new latent fingerprint enhancement technique that is extremely effective on plastics, including drug wraps and explosives wrapping; it is also...

This proposal seeks to shed light on the functional and structural characteristics of a specific membrane protein - cytochrome P450 reductase (abb. POR) - part of the cytochrome...

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral membrane protein found in mitochondria involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines. DHODH oxidizes dihydroorotate with...

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...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

Physical developer (PD) is a latent fingerprint development technique that is highly effective on paper and related surfaces, notably banknotes. The process exploits a redox...

The Outer Membranes (OM) is a feature of many pathogenic bacteria. It is important as a barrier to antibiotics & the site of human-bacteria interaction. However bacteria are...

Membrane bound proteins continue to be to date the most elusive molecules in nature, since they are only functional in the lipid bilayer. We have developed a method to study...

We have recently used Polref in to measure the assembly of tethered floating lipid bilayers. These are useful models of biological membranes in which a phospholipid bilayer is...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,...

The Heusler alloys based on Ni2MnGa are considered as promising new multifunctional material showing magnetic shape memory effect related to the giant magnetic field induced...

Understanding how nanoparticles interact with lipid bilayers will potentially have high impact on the development of new drug delivery systems, and on the investigation of their...

Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. We very recently oxidised...

Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a...

The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at...

Bilayers which float below a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coated solid support represent one of the most advanced membrane mimetics. Recently (RB 1720155) we assessed the...

Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,...
