Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
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,... -
Antimicrobial Peptide Binding & Rearrangement in Model Membranes ¿ Building a...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive drug candidates because of their selectivity and speed of action against bacteria. We have developed a novel approach to delivering... -
Head Group charging and anaesthetic Interaction with Model Bilayers
The mechanism of general anaesthetic action is poorly understood despite their widespread use. It is hoped that investigating the interaction of anaesthetics with lipid bilayers... -
The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets for antimicrobial development. It is this envelope that harbours the instruments of microbial warfare, preventing its... -
SESANS study of phase segregation in microemulsion polymerisations
Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of... -
The gas-phase oxidation of mixed organic films at the air-water interface ¿ t...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...
