Changes to the structure of natural lung surfactant, and extracted proteins, ...
The presence of a monolayer of surfactant material at the air-water interface of the lung is crucial for respiratory function. It is well known that exposure to the ubiquitous... -
Characterising the membrane binding interaction of plant annexin Gh1
Annexins are a ubiquitous group of membrane associated proteins found in animals, plants and fungi. They are linked to wide range of functions including phospholipid... -
Modelling the Intracellular Lipid Shuttling Mechanism of Non Specific Lipid T...
Previously we have examined the interaction of barley non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP1) with OTS and lipid monolayers at the solid/liquid interface. Examining the... -
Adsorption of hydrophobin at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how another globular protein hydrophobin adsorbs at the oil/water interface by... -
Depth profiles in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular weight o...
Neutron reflectivity will be used to investigate the composition in the direction perpendicular to the substrate for films of blends of electron-donor... -
A study of the role of divalent cations in the stability of smooth LPS in out...
The Outer Membrane (OM) is found in bacteria which cause plague, cholera & Legionnaires disease. It is important as; a barrier to antibiotics & the site of... -
Adsorption of magnetic surfactants
Surfactants responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known, however, our recent work has shown, for the first time surfactants that are magneto-responsive, and also... -
The effect of membrane fluidity on the interaction of antimicrobial proteins ...
Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions... -
Heterogenous reactions between gas-phase hydroxyl radicals and organic films ...
Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects.... -
Purothionin binding to model fungal lipid membranes
Purothionins and defensins are basic, amphiphilic, cysteine-rich and low molecular weight plant defence proteins. These proteins are active against a broad range of... -
Surface structure of monolayers formed by novel di- and tri-chain cationic li...
The aim of the present study is to the determine, using specular neutron reflection (SNR), the structure of layers formed by novel tri-chain cationic lipids in combination with... -
Intra-membrane lipid flipping in model lipid membranes
Lipid compositional variation across the cell's membranes as well as asymmetry between two contiguous monolayers in the same membrane are critical for alive and healthy cells.... -
Studying the Hydration Properties of Green Hybrid Nanocomposite Cellulose Films
We are investigating innovative hybrid organic/inorganic multilayered films comprising alternated layers of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and Gibbsite platelets (GW). CNCs are... -

Structure of Zwitterionic Surfactants of Varying Headgroup: Interaction with ...
Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although...
