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,... -
Lipid bilayers suspended beneath the air/water interface for neutron reflecti...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -
Defects in the Core Oligosaccharide in Gram Negative Bacterial Outer Membrane...
The outer membrane of Gram negative bacterial is an effective barrier for many harmful agents. We have been developing and testing advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial... -
Oxidation of a bilayer of DOPC by aqueous ozone - a chemical, kinetic and mec...
Mineral aerosol in the atmosphere is a major part of the Earths aerosol budget. Organic films on these aerosols affect the aerosols ability to promote cloud formation and... -
Magnetic contrast NR to resolve MscL opening under PXG challenge: influence o...
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock, but, as with all ion channels, they have the potential to act as an Achilles heel,... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
Gold, in its nano-scale, has been found to be very effective catalyst for oxidation reactions. More recently, it was shown that supported Au-Pd catalysts can be used for... -
The application of INS to characterise iron based Fischer- Tröpsch catalysts ...
In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that... -
Interaction between RNA and lipid monolayers
The objective of the suggested study is to reveal the structure formed when short ssRNA molecules (similar to miRNA) interact with lipid monolayers at the air-water interface....
