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...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

We have recently shown that dense monolayers of PC can be assembled on gold surfaces using a new omega thiol PC from Avanti. This has two advantages over our previous methods....

A recent experiment has provided clear evidence for a large maximum in the adsorption just below the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

Major technological and scientific challenges arise from the pressure to provide widely available and sustainable technologies for the societal requirements for health and a...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation...

The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins...

Gene (nucleic acid) delivery to the cytosol or nucleus of a cell is, without the aid of a suitable delivery system, an inefficient process. Here the interaction of a defined...

The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance....

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

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 formation of protein layers on surfaces is important for medical implants and for the consequences of the ingestion of nanoparticles. In the body, a surface is exposed to 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...

Between September 2016 and August 2017, we conducted year-long reciprocal transplantation experiments using the cold-water coral Desmophyllum dianthus along natural...

Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Stimpson 1857) originally collected in November 2020 from La Jolla, USA (Lat: 32.842674; Long: -117.257767) were held in flow-through tanks which...
