Structure of lipid monolayers following oxidative damage
Lipids form the major component of cell membranes, which separate the contents of the cell from the external environment. The oxidation of lipids within biological membranes is... -
Investigation of lipid head group dependent adhesion of membrane proteins usi...
The lipid membranes and their interactions with the integral or peripheral proteins serve as one of the key mechanism in various cellular functions like communication, cell... -
Elucidating the effect of BTHC on DMPC monolayers
Plastic bags are used as containers for storage of donated blood. These bags are often made of PVC plasticized with dialkylphthalates (e.g. DEHP), which migrates into the blood... -
Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers on a Range of Subphases
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Structural Studies of Mixed Monolayers of Sulfobetaines with Phospholipids
Sulfobetaines are zwitterionic surfactants where the headgroup charges are arranged in the opposite manner to those found in phosphotidylcholine lipid headgroups. Sulfobetaines... -
Effect of glycolipids with therapeutic potential on phase behaviour of model ...
alpha-galactosylceramide (a-GalCer) can activate an immune response through a protein-mediated cell signalling event. The effect of a-GalCer on local membrane structure is...
