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... -
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...
