Structure of the myoglobin-trehalose-water system
In this proposal we will study the structure of the myoglobin-trehalose-water system. It is well known that trehalose has an excellent cryo- and bioprotective role for... -
Ion Binding in Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments... -
Electrostatic Interactions between Floating Bilayers and Thiol Coated Interfa...
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... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
The structure of the Bam complex, the Gram-negative outer membrane protein fo...
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and... -
Binding Particles with Proteins at Interfaces
Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Resolving the manifold setting structure of protiated vs D2O portland cements
Models of cement have been formulated to further understanding. The dominant being Jennings layered colloid model. Therein, idealised silicate layers are interspersed with... -
Self-assembly of lipid and triblock copolymer-based amphiphiles for drug deli...
Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block... -

Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
Membrane-stacking Properties of Mutant Myelin Proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Absolute normalisation of spectra in DINS experiments:exploring the route to ...
The aim of this proposal is to investigate in the methodology of Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) data analysis, with especial emphasis in the absolute normalisation of... -
The Formation of Ion Channels in Phospholipid Bilayers by Puroindoline-a
Puroindolines are basic, cysteine rich proteins of ~13KDa, which have attracted significant interest due to their role in determining the endosperm texture of Wheat and seed... -
