Interaction of an antimicrobial peptide from Lactobacillus gasseri supernatan...
A short peptide, composed of 12 amino acids (EFVFVAHAVPVM), presenting a strongly hydrophobic character, was recently isolated from Lactobacillus gasseri supernatant (AMP12).... -
Spin structure of magnetic exchange springs wound at remanence
In a soft magnetic material the directions of the internal magnetic moments are easily changed by an external magnetic field while in a hard magnetic material they are not. In a... -
Membrane-stacking Properties of Mutant Myelin Proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Using the nano discs approach at surfaces to determine the relation between s...
Membrane bound proteins continue to be to date the most elusive molecules in nature, since they are only functional in the lipid bilayer. We have developed a method to study... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin... -
Surfactant Modified Salivary Pellicles
Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,... -
Effect of saponin-rich plant extracts on skin-mimicking model lipid bilayers
Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties... -
The Mechanism and Kinetics of Lipid Flip-Flop in Floating Phosphatidylcholine...
In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied... -
Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Ca...
In this proposal we request beamtime on the Inter reflectometer to study the unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate caesium salt... -
The structure of nanographenes in solution
In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s... -
In-situ study of oxygen storage materials in the Zr-Ce-O system
Zirconia-ceria ceramics are promising materials within automotive exhaust catalysts, exploiting the Ce3+<->Ce4+ redox reactions to store oxygen. For a Zr:Ce ratio of 1:1... -
Methane hydrate formation in the presence of clay minerals
We will study the formation of methane hydrates in situ in the presence of swelling clays. The aim is to understand and control heterogeneous hydrate nucleation at this... -
Probing the magnetic interface in Bi2Se3/CoFeB bilayers by polarized neutron ...
Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Probing the influence of deposition energy on the magnetic properties of FeCo...
Magnetic HEA thin films could open up the possibility to develop spintronic devices for use in hostile environments e.g. for high temperature applications. Previous studies have... -
Micro-Metagenomics: Characterising Virus-Surface Interactions for Microfluidi...
Traditional methods of viral detection are based on the isolation and culture of viral pathogens, but often viruses cannot be cultivated under laboratory conditions,... -
Investigation of the translocation potential of therapeutic macromolecules in...
Exosomes are released by cells are responsible for cell-cell communication of macromolecules and the development of disease such as cancer. These nanoparticles are loaded with... -
Bilayer modification and charge screening by simple ions
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported DPPC bilayer films. At low concentrations... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
