Structural changes of PdRu alloy nanoparticles caused by catalytic reactions
We are proposing 4 days of beamtime on GEM/Polaris to conduct the neutron powder diffraction experiments on PdRu alloy nanoparticles supported on CZ (CeO2-ZrO2) before and after... -
Outer membrane mimics using novel thiol-PC
We have recently shown that dense monolayers of PC can be assembled on gold surfaces using a new omega thiol PC from Avanti. This has two advantages over our previous methods.... -
Organisation of Outer membrane protein F at the air/liquid interface
Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to... -
Multinuclear Radiofrequency Decoupling in Lithium Hydroxide
This proposal seeks to develop the technique of multinuclear RF decoupling and apply it to the study of lithium ion mobility in Lithium Hydroxide. Key to the understanding of... -
Floating Bilayer Mimics of the Gram Negative Bacterial Outer Membrane
The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. The two main lipid components of the outer membrane are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and DOPE. We will... -
Kinetics of Muoniated Radicals Studied With Radio Frequency Muon Spin Resonance
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in...
