Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug...

Quantifying amount, composition and fate of surface-active organic aerosols originating from cooking processes is a key atmospheric research activity. Our project aims to...

Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties...

Purothionins and defensins are basic, amphiphilic, cysteine-rich and low molecular weight plant defence proteins. These proteins are active against a broad range of...

We plan to investigate the interaction between amyloid proteins and model biomembranes deposited on solid surfaces. The model membranes will be single zwitterionic and mixed...

Purothionins and defensins are basic, amphiphilic, cysteine-rich and low molecular weight plant defence proteins. These proteins are active against a broad range of...

The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few...

In this work we explore how to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption from a natural eggshell membrane polypeptide at the oil/water interface. We will then...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the...

Skin becomes a target of drug delivery because the transdermal routes are non-invasive, can be self-administrated, improve patient compliance and can provide release for long...

Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug...

In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device...

The main objective of the present work is to complete some work aimed at gaining an understanding of the interaction of phospholipid membranes containing the neutral helper...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug...

Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

Cell-nanoparticle interactions are complex, involving several specific and non-specific intermolecular forces between a wide range of particulate and molecular species . There...
