Formation of asymmetric free-standing bilayers with lipopolysaccharide in the...
We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on POLREF and... -
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... -
Structure of phospholipid monolayers containing lipid-PEG-ligand
The incorporation of lipid-PEG-ligand molecules into liposome membrane imparts targeting ability and specificity to liposomes. Crucial for the targeting ability is the... -
In-situ neutron diffraction during reversible deuterium loading in under-stoi...
Hydrogen is an efficient energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources and stored in alloys in solid-state for long period enabling the transition towards CO2-free... -
Detailed Structure of Phospholipid Bilayers from Multiple Contrast Neutron Re...
In recent monolayer measurements, we have developed models for obtaining detailed structural information of phospholipid structures. The models employ a 'quasimolecular'... -
Investigating the influence of the oxide on adsorption and corrosion of coppe...
Copper is an important industrial metal, predominantly used in electrical wiring and plumbing, as well as in power transformers. Throughout these applications, sulphur is known... -
Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
'Stabbing' or 'cut & thrust'? Texture analysis to distinguish usage of Bronze...
Defining when the practical use of Bronze Age swords changed from stabbing to cut-and-thrust weapons would have a huge impact on Bronze Age research. The change was accompanied... -
Voltage-induced swelling and collapse of weak polyelectrolyte brushes
The voltage-induced actuation of a weak polyelectrolyte brush is an example of an ultrathin, remotely controlled responsive surface coating. We propose a continuation of... -
The interaction of cytochrome c with floating bilayers containing negatively ...
As research on apoptosis has gained momentum, the importance of membrane lipids in this crucial cellular process is becoming clear.Previously, we have determined using NR and... -
Surface adsorption of lipopeptides: interfacial layer structure
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
The Interaction of Puroindoline-b with Model Phospholipid Bilayers
Puroindolines are basic cystiene rich proteins which possess unique Trp rich domains which are fully conserved in the predominant isoform Pin-a and partially in Pin-b. This...
