Off-specular neutron reflection is potentially a powerful technique for studying the lateral organisation of phospholipid bilayers. However, this has not yet been demonstrated....

Asymmetry across biological membranes is vital for a wide range of organelle and cellular functions. Significant differences in lipid composition have been found between the...

There is currly great interest in the use of neutron reflection to study model bilayers. We have produced a model membrane system that is strongly associated with the substrate,...

In a previous neutron reflectivity(NR) measurement (RB620370) on CRISP, we showed that the insoluble interlayer formed between the charge injection layer and a semiconducting...

Our objective is to create asymmetric solid surface tethered bilayers (tBLMs) with the the outer leaflet predominately populated by charged phospholipids. tBLMs are produced by...

The main objective of the present study is to gain an understanding of the nature of the interaction of ¿phospholipid membranes¿ with small, interfering RNA (siRNA) in the...

The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid...

The aim of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of DNA with the phospholipid bilayers. The effect of different forms of DNA, the presence of divalent...

As research on apoptosis has gained momentum, the importance of membrane lipids in this crucial cellular process is becoming clear.Previously, we have determined using NR and...
