Nanodiscs films at the air-water interface
Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble... -
Structure of chain-grafted silica nanoparticles
The aim of the proposed experiment is to carry out a series of SANS measurements on chain-grafted silica nanoparticles prepared in our laboratory. In this experiment we plan to... -
Lipid exchange dynamics between native lipoprotein particles and human cell m...
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of death in westernized societies. Clinical indicators include not only the net lipoprotein concentration but also the ratio between the... -
Structural stability of novel anticancer hexameric fusion protein: SANS inves...
A shift towards antibody-based cancer treatments has occurred due to their ability to provide targeted cancer treatment with fewer negative side effects than traditional... -
Interaction of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase with ubiquinone in model li...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a membrane-bound enzyme of clinical interest and a well-validated drug target for e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.... -
Micelle formation from model surfactant binary and ternary compositions in th...
The effects of electrolytes on SLES3, C12E8 and LAS4 has been extensively studied, especially the effect on the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant. We wish to... -
Using contrast matching to understand the networks in multicomponent systems
We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a... -
The Interactions of Blood Components with Models of the Gram Negative Bacteri...
One of the major challenges in the fight against antimicrobial resistance is the development of antimicrobial compounds that selectively disrupt bacterial membranes and leave... -
The Interaction of Small Cationic Amphiphillic Antimicrobial Proteins with Fr...
Protein-membranes interactions are fundamentally important to biological function. We have developed advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial outer membrane and have... -
The Mechanism of Bam Mediated Outer Membrane Protein Folding
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival,from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and... -
