Fragments of the human antimicrobial LL-37 and their interaction with model membranes
… work to understand their mode of action. Planar lipid films were mainly applied as model systems in combination with IR-spectroscopy and X-ray scattering methods. Circular Dichroism spectroscopy in bulk systems completed the results. In the first approach, the structure of the peptides was …

Self-assembly of nanostructured amphiphiles onto surfaces: Design principles for substrate mediated biomedical applications
Amphiphilic in nature, lipids spontaneously self-assemble into various nanostructures in aqueous solution. Among lipid self-assembled structures, liposomes and supported lipid bilayers have long held scientific interest for their main applications in drug delivery and plasma membrane models, …

Studies on the interaction of cholesterol analogues with cholesterol oxidising systems and membrane components
… in (a) physical studies of cholesterol phospholipid interactions and (b) experiments to investigate the substrate specificities of cholesterol 7a"hydroxylase from rat liver and the adrenal mitochondrial cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme. (a) The physical properties of cholesterol and a …

Using Vibrational Laser Spectroscopy to Study Biologically Relevant Interfaces
… artificial mimics (hydrogels) and thin molecular films (phospholipid monolayers). Specifically, the lateral chemical resolution and surface sensitivity of AFM-IR are used to chemically characterise the constituent components of biologically relevant systems below the diffraction limit whilst …
