We attempt a classification of different colloidal gels based on colloid–colloid interactions.
We discriminate primarily between non-equilibrium and equilibrium routes to gelation, the …

Sickle cell anaemia is associated with a mutant haemoglobin, HbS, which forms polymers in
the red blood cells of patients. The primary role of the HbS polymerization for the …

We report extensive numerical simulations of a simple model for charged colloidal particles
in suspension with small nonadsorbing polymers. The chosen effective one-component …

We report calculations of the ground-state energies and geometries for clusters of different
sizes (up to 80 particles), where individual particles interact simultaneously via a short …

We report an experimental study on the model protein Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), with
the aim of elucidating the mechanisms by which a fully folded globular protein undergoes …

Aggregation and gelation of globular proteins can be an advantage to generate new forms
of nanoscale biomaterials based on the fibrillar architecture. Here, we report results …

We report measurements on the ageing dynamics of a colloid–polymer mixture with a large
polymer–colloid size ratio of 0.62. Quenched into a two-phase region the system gels and …

The importance of understanding the mechanism of protein aggregation into insoluble
amyloid fibrils lies not only in its medical consequences, but also in its more basic properties …

The link between the thermodynamic properties of a solution and the conformational space
explored by a protein is of fundamental importance to understand and control solubility …

Understanding the relation between protein conformational changes and aggregation, and
the physical mechanisms leading to such processes, is of primary importance, due to its …
