Backus E, Kuiper J, Engberts J, Poolman B, Bonn M
J Phys Chem B . 2011 Feb; 115(10):2294-302. PMID: 21332172
We have obtained molecular insights into a monolayer of azobenzene-based photoswitchable lipids self-assembled on water, using the surface sensitive technique vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy in combination with surface pressure measurements....

Kuiper J, Stuart M, Engberts J
Langmuir . 2007 Dec; 24(2):426-32. PMID: 18067338
In previous reports, we presented the synthesis and properties of double-tailed azobenzene-substituted phosphate amphiphiles (Kuiper et al. Synthesis 2003, 695 and Kuiper et al. Langmuir 2004, 20, 1152). We also...

Stuart M, van Esch J, van de Pas J, Engberts J
Langmuir . 2007 May; 23(12):6494-7. PMID: 17488042
Sodium soap fibers with varying alkyl chain lengths were studied by cryotransmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetery in water and water-propylene glycol mixtures. The morphology of the lamellar fibers...

Klijn J, Stuart M, Scarzello M, Wagenaar A, Engberts J
J Phys Chem B . 2007 Apr; 111(19):5204-11. PMID: 17439278
The pH-dependent phase behavior and hydroxide-ion adsorption ability of a series of (reduced) carbohydrate-based gemini surfactants were studied between pH 2 and 12. Static and dynamic light scattering were employed...

Klijn J, Stuart M, Scarzello M, Wagenaar A, Engberts J
J Phys Chem B . 2006 Oct; 110(43):21694-700. PMID: 17064128
The phase behavior of a series of carbohydrate-based gemini surfactants with varying spacer lengths was studied using static and dynamic light scattering between pH 2 and 12. Cryo-electron microscopy pictures...

Zuhorn I, Engberts J, Hoekstra D
Eur Biophys J . 2006 Oct; 36(4-5):349-62. PMID: 17019592
Non-viral vectors such as cationic lipids are capable of delivering nucleic acids, including genes, siRNA or antisense RNA into cells, thus potentially resulting in their functional expression. These vectors are...

Klijn J, Scarzello M, Stuart M, Engberts J
Org Biomol Chem . 2006 Sep; 4(19):3569-70. PMID: 16990930
The mechanism of hydroxide ion binding to nonionic surfaces is explored by variation of the properties of the water-aggregate interface and by variation of the type of the aggregate.

Wasungu L, Stuart M, Scarzello M, Engberts J, Hoekstra D
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2006 Aug; 1758(10):1677-84. PMID: 16930530
The present study aims at a better understanding of the mechanism of transfection mediated by two sugar-based gemini surfactants GS1 and GS2. Previously, these gemini surfactants have been shown to...

Wasungu L, Scarzello M, van Dam G, Molema G, Wagenaar A, Engberts J, et al.
J Mol Med (Berl) . 2006 Jun; 84(9):774-84. PMID: 16761143
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo transfection capacity of novel pH-sensitive sugar-based gemini surfactants was investigated. In an aqueous environment at physiological pH, these compounds form bilayer...

Scarzello M, Klijn J, Wagenaar A, Stuart M, Hulst R, Engberts J
Langmuir . 2006 Mar; 22(6):2558-68. PMID: 16519455
Sugar-based gemini surfactants (GSs) display rich pH-dependent phase diagrams and are considered to be promising candidates as gene- and drug-delivery vehicles for biomedical applications. Several sugar-based GSs form vesicles around...
