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... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Head Group charging and anaesthetic Interaction with Model Bilayers
The mechanism of general anaesthetic action is poorly understood despite their widespread use. It is hoped that investigating the interaction of anaesthetics with lipid bilayers...
