Measurement of the hydration of B-DNA
Water is intimately entwined structurally with DNA. Depending on its hydration state, DNA can form several forms: A, B, C, D and Z. In addition water bound in the grooves of the... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Modelling Protein-Protein Interactions and the Hofmeister Effect
Nimrod is a unique instrument that bridges atomic resolution solution scattering with small angle scattering. The opportunity therefore exists to probe both the microscopic... -

An experimental test of the contribution of Mrozowski Cracks to the SANS from...
The life-limiting feature of AGR power reactors is probably radiation damage to the graphite moderators. This proposal (part of a collaborative EPSRC programme - Fundamentals of... -
Intermediate Structures formed during the aggregation of the Amyloid beta Pep...
The aggregation of the Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, the treatment of which is a major current global healthcare... -
The structure of clay swelling inhibitors TMA and TEA under oil-field conditions
Shale swelling is particularly problematic in the oil and gas exploration sector, as environmentally friendly water based muds are invariably used during drilling operations to... -
Investigation of the structure of self-assembling peptide fibrils using neutr...
A consortium of several UK universities and industries has been set up, based at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to investigate ¿Length-scale bridging in... -
PROBING THE NEAR AND INTERMEDIATE RANGE NANOSTRUCTURE OF DNA/PEPTIDE HYDROGELS
The near- and intermediate-range order within peptide and peptide/DNA hydrogels will be probed across the q range available on NIMROD. Samples will be prepared in H2O/D2O... -
Magnetic self-aggregating ionic liquids (MSAILs)
This proposal is to explore aqueous phase structures with a new class of magnetic self-aggregating ionic liquids (MSAILs) (see Figures 2 and 3 below). The dilute micellar... -
Interaction of the nucleic acid, DNA, with a model biomembranes of varying ri...
In this experiment we aim to investigate, using neutron reflectometry in combination with contrast variation, the intermolecular interaction between the nucleic acid, calf... -
Arrested states of clay-water suspensions
The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of... -
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... -
Probing the structure of titanium silicates over a wide range of length scales
Titanium silicates are important for a number of applications such as ultra low expansion glasses, anti-reflective thin film coatings and catalytic materials. Titanium silicates... -
Atomic and pore structure of amorphous zeolites
We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from... -
Probing atomic and mesoscale structural correlations in 1-alkyl-3-methylimida...
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to... -
Insight into the atomic and intermediate level structure of spherical and rod...
Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in... -
Understanding the structure of sodium laureth sulfate and cocamidopropyl beta...
The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form... -
On the peculiarities of the structure of particle stabilised foam
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
Electrical Double Layer Structure at the Clay-Water Interface
The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this...
