Membrane-stacking Properties of Mutant Myelin Proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Effect of Phosphatidylserine lipids on Tissue Factor structure and function i...
Tissue Factor (TF) is the membrane protein responsible for the initiation of the blood coagulation process [1]. In case of a vessel injury, the TF is exposed to the blood stream... -
Adsorption versus aggregation; Particles and surface of matching material
The balance between particle-surface and particle-particle interactions is entropically driven. We would like to investigate wherever a multiplayer layer adsorption on a... -
Proof of principle: Can ecotoxological partition constants for persistant org...
A proof-of-principle experiment to use the convenient scattering length of perfluorinated alkyl surfactants to measure partitioning to lipids at the air-water interface,... -
Investigation on the air-water adsorption behaviour of N-acyl amino acid surf...
N-acyl amino acids are promising anionic amphiphilic molecules with an improved toxicological profile in comparison to the most common used sulfate-based surfactants. Previous... -
Deposition of lipid bilayer through peptide-discs
We are developing a new protocol for the preparation of lipid bilayers suitable to host membrane proteins with control on their orientation. Our proposed strategy is based on... -
Mixed H/F-Carbon surfactant monolayers for fire-fighting applications
The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on the adsorption properties of fluorocarbon/ hydrocarbon mixtures in commercial fire-fighting foam... -
Micro-Metagenomics: Characterising Virus-Surface Interactions for Microfluidi...
Traditional methods of viral detection are based on the isolation and culture of viral pathogens, but often viruses cannot be cultivated under laboratory conditions,... -
Novel dual purpose antimicrobials and co-formulates to regenerate currently r...
The increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is the most significant challenge facing the human-health today in both developed and developing worlds. It's... -

Neutron reflection study of effects of non-ionic alkyl ethoxylates on model w...
We propose to use NR to study the structural features of the model wheat wax films formulated from the known main components of long chain primary alcohols and an ester. By... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
Structural refinement of new class of thermo-responsive nanogels to optimise ...
Understanding the transport and adsorption dynamics of nanogels at interfaces as a function of structural morphology are of great importance to further their development and... -
The effect of bilayer rigidity on the interactions with perfluoroalkyl compounds
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are used extensively in industrial products although have been identified as emerging pollutants accumulating in wildlife and environment.... -
The Impact of Multivalent Counterions on the Surface Adsorption of the Anioni...
Surface multilayer formation provides great potential for the tuning and optimising surface wetting properties and applications such as lubrication, drug delivery. Normally... -
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... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Elucidating the Membrane Interaction Mechanism of Chloride Intracellular Chan...
Chloride Intracellular Channels (CLICs) are a family of 6 proteins that have in common a C-terminal CLIC module and chloride-selective ion channel activity. CLIC1 is a 241... -
Organization of mitochondrial membranes upon oxidative stress: Impact on apop...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a... -
Lipopolysaccharide Functions as Bacterial Receptors to Antimicrobial Peptides
Neutron reflection (NR) is well established for studying molecular films such as lipid monolayers. Its high depth resolution combined with deuterium labelling can determine the...
