Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Effect of reversing lipid head group charge on vesicular properties
Zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) are major components of the membranes that compartmentalize organisms. Although there is a large literature on PC, cationic... -
Origin of co-nonsolvency, based on the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters o...
Co-solvency and Co-nonsolvency are two extreme phenomena in the field of polymer solution. The former is the phenomenon that a mixture of two nonsolvent forms a good solvent for... -
Constructing analogues of Gemini and oligomeric surfactants using polyamines
Gemini or oligomeric surfactants, where two or more alkyl chains and headgroups are connected via spacer groups, have interesting and potentially important properties which make...
