Micelles as colloidal suspension have attracted considerable attention due to their potential
use for both cancer diagnosis and therapy. These structures have proven their ability to …

Most therapeutic agents suffer from poor solubility, rapid clearance from the blood stream, a
lack of targeting, and often poor translocation ability across cell membranes. Drug/gene …

The mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides is traditionally attributed to the formation
of pores in the lipid cell membranes of pathogens, which requires a substantial peptide to …

Antimicrobial peptides are universal in all forms of life and are well known for their strong
interaction with the cell membrane. This makes them a popular target for investigation of …

The MDANSE software Molecular Dynamics Analysis of Neutron Scattering Experiments
is presented. It is an interactive application for postprocessing molecular dynamics (MD) …

A process in which a disordered system of pre-existing molecules generates an organized
structure through specific, local interactions among the molecules themselves is termed …

Hypothesis The free energies associated with adsorption/desorption of individual surfactants
from micelles and the fusion/scission of long micelles can be used to estimate the rate …

Using the thiocyanate anion as a vibrational probe chromophore in conjunction with infrared
and NMR spectroscopy, we find that SCN–strongly associates with the cationic head group …

Vitamin E behaves as an antioxidant and is well known for its protective properties of the
lipid membrane. The most biologically active form of vitamin E in the human organism is α …

Cationic lipid membranes have recently attracted huge attention both from a fundamental
point of view and due to their practical applications in drug delivery and gene therapy. The …
