Cherpak V, Korolovych V, Geryak R, Turiv T, Nepal D, Kelly J, et al.
Nano Lett . 2018 Oct; 18(11):6770-6777. PMID: 30351961
We showed large area uniformly aligned chiral photonic bioderived films from a liquid crystal phase formed by a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspension placed in a thin capillary. As a result...

Mixtures of water, octane and 1-octanol with 1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (CMIM·Cl), often referred to as a surface active ionic liquid (SAIL), form water-in-oil microemulsions that have potential application as extraction media...

Teixeira S, Ankner J, Bellissent-Funel M, Bewley R, Blakeley M, Coates L, et al.
Chem Phys . 2009 Jan; 345(2-3):133-151. PMID: 19132140
Neutron radiation offers significant advantages for the study of biological molecular structure and dynamics. A broad and significant effort towards instrumental and methodological development to facilitate biology experiments at neutron...

Heller W, Waring A, Lehrer R, Harroun T, Weiss T, Yang L, et al.
Biochemistry . 2000 Jan; 39(1):139-45. PMID: 10625488
Lipid bilayers containing the antimicrobial peptide protegrin-1 (PG-1) were studied by lamellar X-ray diffraction. Previously, we have shown that the peptide exists in two distinct states when associated with lipid...

Yang L, Weiss T, Harroun T, Heller W, Huang H
Biophys J . 1999 Nov; 77(5):2648-56. PMID: 10545365
In a previous paper (Yang et al., Biophys. J. 75:641-645, 1998), we showed a simple, efficient method of recording the diffraction patterns of supramolecular peptide assemblies in membranes where the...

Harroun T, Heller W, Weiss T, Yang L, Huang H
Biophys J . 1999 Jun; 76(6):3176-85. PMID: 10354442
We present a quantitative analysis of the effects of hydrophobic matching and membrane-mediated protein-protein interactions exhibited by gramicidin embedded in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) bilayers (Harroun et al., 1999....

Harroun T, Heller W, Weiss T, Yang L, Huang H
Biophys J . 1999 Feb; 76(2):937-45. PMID: 9929495
Hydrophobic matching, in which transmembrane proteins cause the surrounding lipid bilayer to adjust its hydrocarbon thickness to match the length of the hydrophobic surface of the protein, is a commonly...

Heller W, Waring A, Lehrer R, Huang H
Biochemistry . 1998 Dec; 37(49):17331-8. PMID: 9860847
Protegrin-1 (PG-1), a beta-sheet antimicrobial peptide, was studied in aligned lipid bilayers by oriented circular dichroism (OCD). All of its spectra measured in a variety of lipid compositions were linear...

Yang L, Harroun T, Heller W, Weiss T, Huang H
Biophys J . 1998 Jul; 75(2):641-5. PMID: 9675166
We describe a method of measuring neutron scattering of aligned membranes with the momentum transfer oriented parallel or partly perpendicular to the plane of the membranes. The method obtains the...

Biophys J . 1997 Jul; 73(1):239-44. PMID: 9199788
Adsorption of amphiphilic peptides to the headgroup region of a lipid bilayer is a common mode of protein-membrane interactions. Previous studies have shown that adsorption causes membrane thinning. The degree...
