Purothionins Perturb Bacterial Membrane Function via Ion Channel Formation
Purothionins are a family of cationic cystiene rich plant defence proteins which have been shown to have a wide spectrum of activity due their ability to permeate cellular... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant on the surface of water
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the... -
Polarized neutron reflectivity investigation of Fe+ ion irradiated FeCr films
For Fusion energy applications FeCr ferritic martensitic steels are candidate structural materials due to their radiation resistance and good mechanical properties. Thus, the... -
Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
PNR determination of magnetic interface states in ultrathin FePt/FeRh films
We propose to use polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of thin (< 10nm) exchange coupled FePt/FeRh films. FePt/FeRh is... -
PNR study on the uncompensated layer at the interface of ferromagnetic and an...
Spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, based on a structure of free ferromagnet (FM)/nonmagnetic metal or insulator/pinned FM, have been extensively used in magnetic field... -
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.... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of amphotericin with model ce...
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¿... -
Co-adsorption of monoclonal antibodies and non-ionic surfactants at the air/l...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in a binary mixture with protein. However, we show... -
How does oxidative damage change peptide membrane insertion?
The insertion of peptides and proteins into cell membranes is crucial for the functioning of cells, and also for the functioning of a variety of antibacterial reagents. Cells... -
The use of magnetic contrast layers for neutron reflectivity to investigate n...
The search for new clever ways to deliver drugs, which often are not possible to dissolved in water, has lead to the development lipid based small particles. These particles can... -
Neutron reflectivity study of phase separation in polymer-drug thin films
Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug... -
Adsorption of modified PEI / SDS mixtures at the solid-solution interface
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford... -
Investigating proximity effect in tunneling geometry across STO insulator in ...
Recently a number of studies have been reported in FM/SC multilayers on proximity effect. Taking a step forward we propose to study coupling of SC and FM layers through an... -
Comparison Phase-object approximation and dynamical scattering theory
X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed... -
Determination of Organic Friction Modifier conformation under shear
Engine oils act to lubricate and protect moving parts in an engine. They act to reduce friction and reduce emissions. A major class of friction reducing additives are organic... -

The effect of membrane fluidity on the interaction of antimicrobial proteins ...
Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions... -
Surface structure of monolayers formed by novel di- and tri-chain cationic li...
The aim of the present study is to the determine, using specular neutron reflection (SNR), the structure of layers formed by novel tri-chain cationic lipids in combination with... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect in Multilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...
