During the last few years, there has been an extraordinary increase in publications
describing the manifold applications of monoolein, one of the most important lipids in the …

Lipids and lipopolymers self-assembled into biocompatible nano-and mesostructured
functional materials offer many potential applications in medicine and diagnostics. In this …

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria,
tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the …

Besides temperature, hydrostatic pressure has been used as a physical-chemical parameter
for studying the energetics and phase behavior of membrane systems. First we review some …

Aqueous submicron-sized dispersions of the binary monolinolein/water system, which are
stabilized by means of a polymer, internally possess a distinct nanostructure. Taking this as …

The M2 protein is a multifunctional protein, which plays several roles in the replication cycle
of the influenza A virus. Here we focus on its ability to promote budding of the mature virus …

In this paper, we give an overview of our studies by static and time-resolved X-ray diffraction
of inverse cubic phases and phase transitions in lipids. In § 1, we briefly discuss the lyotropic …

In our recent work, we reported on the effect of varying temperature and solubilizing
tetradecane (TC) on the structural transitions observed in dispersed particles based on the …

As the number of membrane proteins in the Protein Data Bank increases, efforts to
understand how they interact with their natural environment are increasing in importance. A …

The C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) of viral fusion proteins such as HIV gp41 and
influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is traditionally viewed as a passive α-helical anchor of the …
