We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of...

The aim of this study is to try to understand how antimicrobial peptides bind to model lipid monolayers mimicking different cell membrane types. Following our previous work,...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

Our understanding of chemical reactivity is founded on the fundamental concepts of Electrophilicity and Neucleophilicity. There are a number of attempts of limited applicability...

A family of sterol-modified glycerophospholipids (SML) have been synthesized in which the sn-1 or sn-2 position is covalently attached to cholesterol and the alternative...

Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this...

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...

We have previously studied the adsorption of anti-beta-hCG at the hydrophilic silicon oxide/water interface and the subsequent binding by antigen hCG. We propose to extend this...
