Dynamics of Adsorption and Desorption on Chiral Surfaces
The relationship between structural chirality and chiral motion is not well understood and often involves different length scales for both phenomena. In this thesis, a dispersion-corrected density functional theory study ... -
Biophysical methods to study the ubiquitination of amyloidogenic proteins and proteasomal responses to protein aggregates
The accumulation of misfolded proteins is a universal mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and prion disease. In mammalian cells, the majority of misfolded ... -
Amyloid seeding assays for the selective amplification of tau aggregates from human brain homogenates
The microtubule-stabilising protein tau misfolds and accumulates into amyloid inclusions in a diverse class of diseases called tauopathies. A growing body of biochemical and structural literature has now confirmed that tau ... -
Large area cellulose nanocrystal self-assembly: towards sustainable pigments
To meet the increasing demand for sustainable products, one can look to nature to scout new functional materials. For instance, the most brilliant and striking colours in plants are obtained using cellulose nanofibrils ...
