Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: aqueous solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be... -
INTERACTIONS OF PAMAM DENDRIMERS WITH DESIGNER BIOSURFACTANTS AT THE SOLID/LI...
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been identified as potential gene vectors. We have studied their association with surfactants, dilauroylphospholiponucleosides (DLPN),... -
A model system to study the important interactions of proteins from extreme e...
Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Floating Asymmetri...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
Charged nanogels and their ability to penetrate model lipid membranes
Drug delivery through the skin is an important route for administration of therapeutic agents. However, the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum provides a... -
The Interactions of Blood Components with Models of the Gram Negative Bacteri...
One of the major challenges in the fight against antimicrobial resistance is the development of antimicrobial compounds that selectively disrupt bacterial membranes and leave... -
NR Study of Selective Binding of a-Helix Antimicrobial Peptides onto Bacteria...
In this work we will explore how to use PolRef to study the binding of our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles onto floating lipid bilayers mimicking G- bacterial and red... -
The Interaction of wild-type and mutant Puroindoline B with Model Bacterial M...
Bacterial and fungal infections of cereal crops pose a considerable risk to global food security. Typically plant pathogens are controlled through the use of chemical agents... -
Phospholipid exchange between tethered bilayers and vesicles
Our objective is to create asymmetric solid surface tethered bilayers (tBLMs) with the the outer leaflet predominately populated by charged phospholipids. tBLMs are produced by... -
Surfactant mixing at hydrophilic solid/liquid interfaces: (A) air/water measu...
The overall objective is to model the amount and composition of adsorbed mixtures of three types of zwitterionic surfactant and two charged surfactants at the silica/water... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of Protein Adsorption onto Cell Membrane-inspired ...
We grafted 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer brush from the silicon wafer surface through Cu (0) mediated controlled radical polymerization (CuCRP) to mimic... -
Lipopolysaccharide Functions as Bacterial Receptors to Antimicrobial Peptides
Neutron reflection (NR) is well established for studying molecular films such as lipid monolayers. Its high depth resolution combined with deuterium labelling can determine the... -
The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets in antimicrobial development. This proposal focuses on understanding how lipids move between the membranes of the... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
New Approaches to Producing Floating Supported Bilayers
The complex sample environment needed for floating supported bilayers has often led to a need to constantly redevelop the system to improve reproducibility. Here we plan to... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Can surfactants be pushed out of polymer layers by applying compression?
For many applications such as paints, foods and drug formulations, aggregation of colloidal particles is prevented by combining polymer and surfactant adsorption. Key to this... -
Nanostructure of reverse osmosis polymeric membrane for water filtration
Seawater desalination process with reverse osmosis membrane has been widely used to supply high quality water. Over the past decades, despite considerable performance...
