Solventless protein liquids: a novel form of biological matter
Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
How do colloidal nanocrystals appear to biological systems? A SANS study of t...
A key aspect of any biological application of nanomaterials is to understand what happens when they are introduced into biological environments. When particles are introduced... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for... -
Structural study on the 3D arrangement of (hexa-acyl) lipid A in lipid membrane
Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic... -
Conformation of di-stearoyl-polyethylene glycol surfactants as enhancers of b...
This proposal relates to the structural studies of Di-stearoyl and di-palmitoyl Polyethylene glycol derivates as a function of the PEG head group at the air-water and the... -
Neutron Reflectivity study of lipopolysaccharide complexes with lateral domai...
We propose to investigate the role of lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model membranes and the effects of target membrane structure and composition. A comparison... -
Using small angle neutron diffraction to describe the status of water in solu...
Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the... -
Molecular interactions between phospholipid monolayers and dimethylsulphoxide
Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a... -
Cryopreservation in biological systems: glutamine as a model system to study ...
Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of... -
The effect of membrane fluidity on the interaction of antimicrobial proteins ...
Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions... -
Structure of Meibomian lpid films at the air-water interface using
The tear film of the eye has an outer meibomian lipid layer (TFLL) that allows tears to spread across the eye and remain stable. Our Langmuir trough and other studies show that...
