Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding
We have previously studied the adsorption of anti-beta-hCG at the hydrophilic silicon oxide/water interface and the subsequent binding by antigen hCG. We propose to extend this... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Correlation between local dynamics and shape of SDS micelles:QENS study
Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic... -
Self-assembly of methyl ester sulfonate(MES) and sulfobetaine surfactant mixt...
The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their... -
Interfacial adsorption of keratin as characterised by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface.... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....
