A Total Scattering Study of the Solubilising Mechanism of a Hydrotrope.
We request 5 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering data of aspirin and caffeine at pH7 and pH3 in order to determine the origin of the effect of the hydrotrope caffeine on... -
Further Studies on the Gating Mechanism of an Antimicrobial Peptide Using Con...
Antibiotic peptides are generally small, simple, usually alpha-helical peptides, which nevertheless show quite complex biological behaviour. We have been studying the gating... -
The Mechanism and Kinetics of Lipid Flip-Flop in Floating Phosphatidylcholine...
In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied... -
Investigation Into The Mechanism Of Protection Of Proteins During Freeze-Drying
Protection of biological molecules during freezing and lyophilisation is of commercial importance to the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries. Sugars and surfactants... -
Mechanism of network collapse in strong network glass forming systems
The object of this proposal is to investigate the mechanism of network collapse in the ¿strong¿ network glass forming system GeO2 in the pressure range between 9 and 16 GPa... -
Martensite Ductility Improvement Mechanism of High Strength Multilayered Aust...
Though the single phase martensite of low alloy steel usually has a total elongation less than 5% and cannot directly apply to the commercial steel sheets, the multilayered... -
Modelling the Intracellular Lipid Shuttling Mechanism of Non Specific Lipid T...
Previously we have examined the interaction of barley non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP1) with OTS and lipid monolayers at the solid/liquid interface. Examining the... -
Mechanism of charging metal oxide colloids in non-polar solvents
Contrast-variation SANS (CV SANS) will be used to determine how surfactant inverse micelles interact with model metal oxide colloids. By using deuterated surfactant (D-AOT) with... -
Using Magnetic Contrasts to Establish the Mechanism and Kinetics of Lipid Fli...
In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied... -
On the Mechanism of Self-Assembling Chiral Gelators
Organogelators are small molecules that self-associate into extensive network structures. Our interest lies in a homologous series of such gelators, the...
