To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how...

To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the...

Neutron reflectometry will be used to characterise the cellular membrane binding interaction of alpha-synuclein under conditions mimicking oxidative stress. Alpha-synuclein is...

Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the...

Asymmetry across biological membranes is vital for a wide range of organelle and cellular functions. Significant differences in lipid composition have been found between the...

Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer...

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...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary fats that have been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and auto-immune diseases, arthritis and cancer. PUFA...

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...
