Structural Observation of the Self-Assembly Kinetics of Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS... -
Acid /amine complexation on an iron oxide /Oil interface
This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially... -
Structure of Colloidal Crystals Near a Solid Surface
The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few... -
Role of apolipoprotein E variant on HDL interactions at model cell membranes
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in western society, its consequences such as strokes and heart attacks arise from the build-up of plaques of fat which accumulate... -
The impact of polyelectrolytes on surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...
