Changes to the structure of natural lung surfactant following OH(aq) radical ...
The presence of lung surfactant at the air-water interface of the lung is vital to prevent alveolar collapse. Exposure to environmental pollutants can cause the formation of... -
Oxidation of gram-negative cell-wall proxy with OH radicals - kinetics and me...
Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. We very recently oxidised... -
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,... -
Oxidation of a bilayer of DOPC by aqueous ozone - a chemical, kinetic and mec...
Mineral aerosol in the atmosphere is a major part of the Earths aerosol budget. Organic films on these aerosols affect the aerosols ability to promote cloud formation and... -
Structures of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c in pathological conditions
Cardiolipin (CL) is a structurally unique dimeric phospholipid localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is known to provide essential structural and functional... -
Effect of polar solvent on the structure of monolayers of phospholipid
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a... -
Steroidal drug containing dodecyl sulphate monolayers: effect of counterion
An number of potential drugs, including steroidal drugs are extremely water insoluble, limiting their commercialisation as medicines. Solubilisation of drug in surfactant... -
Heusler Alloy Thin Films for Spin Seebeck Devices
The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to... -
Structural characterisation of an electron-transfer protein, cytochrome c, on...
This proposal concerns the adsorption behaviour of an electron-transfer protein, cytochrome c, on modified electrode surfaces. Cytochrome c plays an important role in... -
Oxidation of gram-negative cell-wall proxy with OH radicals - kinetics and me...
Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. In this exploratory work,... -
Effect of high temperatures on the adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/co...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) is a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in both water and in oils. BTAH is introduced as a corrosion inhibitor in oil based...
