Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
Interplay of apoptosis regulating Bcl-2 proteins with mitochondrial membranes...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a... -
Swelling of Single Supported Bilayers ¿ First Systematic Investigation of the...
This proposal addresses bilayer swelling experiements on floating supported bilayers (FSBs) in the presence of biological buffers. Previous work on multilamellar vesicles has... -
Protein exchange at the solid/liquid interface
The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins... -
Magnetic moment of EuO in spin filtering magnetic tunnel structures
EuO is the ferromagnetic oxide semiconductor with the highest demonstrated value of conduction band exchange splitting (0.6 eV), which makes it at present one of the most... -
The role of disulphide bridges in the adsorption of globular proteins at the ...
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA at the oil/water interface by neutron reflection, we continue to explore how unfolding of globular... -
Co-surfactancy of oil-soluble and water-soluble surfactants at the oil-water ...
A technique we have recently developed enables us to simply produce stable, homogenous and thin oil layers, using polymer surfactants, in a simple manner on water. These are... -
Temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layers: a possible route to novel 2D ...
We propose to investigate the temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layer thickness in amorphous ferromagnetic CoFeTaB films on Si and GaAs semiconductor substrates. Magnetic... -
Magnetic Profile of a Novel Magnetic Quantum Well
Proximity effects associated with magnetic impurities embedded in paramagnetic Pd have been known to produced so-called giant moments. It has been demonstrated that confining Fe... -
Hydration and chain entanglement in random poly(HEMA-co-PEG10MA) brushes
Marine biofouling compromises function and reliability of marine equipment, causing considerable economic and environmental damage. Biocides for fouling prevention are... -
Assessing the interactions of cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates with a lipid ...
Cyclic peptide-polymer nanotubes can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. As such, understanding how... -
Adsorption Kinetics and Structure of Silicatein Mediated Silica Films
The fabrication of composite coatings based on silica with well defined physical properties represents a promising new approach to fine-tune mechanical, optical, electronic, and... -
Structural insight into the mechanistic process of permeabilization into mode...
The aim of this study is to try to understand how antimicrobial peptides bind to model lipid monolayers mimicking different cell membrane types. Following our previous work,... -
Measuring the reflectivity from molten chocolate sandwiches
Molten chocolate is a dense suspension of solids (mainly sugar) in oil, to which surfactants have been added to improve the flow properties, either during manufacture or in the... -
Adsorption of fatty acids at the calcite-liquid interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures
The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-... -
Structure and conformation of thermo-responsive nanogels at air/water interfa...
Soft polymeric nanoparticles possess many interesting properties. Those based on N-isopropylacrylamide are surface active and respond to changes in temperature. This give rise... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer... -
Investigation on the air-water adsorption behaviour of N-acyl amino acid surf...
N-acyl amino acids are promising anionic amphiphilic molecules with an improved toxicological profile in comparison to the most common used sulfate-based surfactants. Previous...
