Solid-supported lipid bilayers for studying mechanosensitive ion channels: to...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -
Effect of saponin-rich plant extracts on skin-mimicking model lipid bilayers
Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties... -
Interaction of amino acid based biosurfactants with model lipid bilayers
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
A PNR study of cobalt nitride films for spin injection and spin engineering a...
We propose to study cobalt nitride films using PNR with a view to their use in spin injection & spin engineering applications. Such systems have had little attention in the... -

Interactions between Designed Antimicrobial Lipopeptides and Inner Membrane L...
Neutron reflection will be used to reveal the structural changes from different inner membrane leaflet models upon interacting with a group of antimicrobial lipopeptides with... -
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in GaAs by electrical spin injection
We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron... -
The Orientation and Conformation of an Enantiomeric Pair of 310 Helical Pepti...
We wish to investigate the interactions between peptide mimics of peptaibols, a highly active class of natural antimicrobial peptide, and membranes. In particular we are... -
Study of protein adsorption tuned via multivalent ions and the influence of s...
Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces plays a key role in biomedical technologies such as biosensors or biomaterials for medical implants. Despite considerable progress... -
Investigation of asphaltene nanoaggregate size under conditions of CO2 reserv...
The asphaltene fraction of crude oil is defined by its solubility parameters (insoluble in n-heptanebut soluble in toluene). Changes in conditions (temperature, pressure,... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of Protein Adsorption onto Cell Membrane-inspired ...
We grafted 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer brush from the silicon wafer surface through Cu (0) mediated controlled radical polymerization (CuCRP) to mimic... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of Amphotericin B with biomim...
Bio-surfactants that can be harvested from micro-organisms are of particular interest, because these can potentially be harvested in high yield and at low cost. In this category... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
Protein Adsorption at the PDMS Oil/Water Interface
Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has... -
Using SERGIS to characterise monolayer buckling on the approach to collapse
Thin films just one or a few molecules thick can play an important role in controlling many important phenomena. This includes the lipid monolayers that coat the surface of our... -
A study of hole injection efficiency for a model conjugated bilayer system
Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of amphotericin with phosphol...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿... -
