Interfacial structures between Nafion and Platinum under controlled electroch...
We wish to propose a neutron reflectivity (NR) experiment for a Nafion/platinum interface under controlled electrochemical potential, because NR is the only technique to study... -
A complex model of the bacterial outer membrane containing oriented proteins ...
The Outer Membrane (OM) is found in bacteria which cause plague, cholera & Legionnaire¿s disease. It is important as; a barrier to antibiotics & the site of... -
Orientation of an Antimicrobial Peptide in Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Membranes.
Antimicrobial peptides are small, usually alpha-helical peptides that kill cells by disrupting the cell membrane. Recently, we have been studying a simple 'designed'... -
Thin Water Layers
The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group... -
The role of tryptophan in puroindoline/purothionin cooperative binding to bio...
The puroindoline (PIN) and purothionin (PTH) families of polypeptides both occur in wheat and are implicated in antipathogenic defence mechanisms, and of interest for potential... -
A model system to study the important interactions of proteins from extreme e...
Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to... -
Salt Effects on Self-assembly of Polyoxometallate Surfactants in Aqueous Solu...
This proposal continues our work on polyoxometallates (POM)-headed surfactants. POMs are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic... -
Hydration of Guanosine, G-quartets and G-quadruplex
Guanosine (GMP) is the ideal brick for controlled self-assembly of biocompatible materials, as it has the special ability to self-associate in water to form G-quartets (G4), and... -
Hydration effects in gels for water splitting.
Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness... -
Hydration of Guanosine, G-quartets and G-quadruplex
Guanosine (GMP) is the ideal brick for controlled self-assembly of biocompatible materials, as it has the ability to self-associate in water to form G-quartets (G4), and four... -
Muon states and diffusion in alkali halides
The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse... -
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... -
Neutron diffraction from polyunsaturated multibilayer membranes containing a ...
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... -
Neutron Reflection of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (C16TAB) at the Mica Wat...
An understanding of surfactant aggregation on clay surfaces is important for detergency processes such as cleaning and pollutant removal. Studies have shown that the adsorbed... -
A neutron reflectometry study of the interaction of octanohydroxamate with iron
The interaction of alkyl hydroxamate with iron is of interest in mineral flotation science, corrosion control and also as a model for microbial siderophore chemistry. Long chain...
