The Membrane Biophysics group of Imperial College of London has a range of equipment, much of which is under constant development to ensure we remain at the forefront of membrane biophysics …
Methods
Atomistic simulation is the theoretical and computational modelling of what happens at the atomic scale in solids, liquids, molecules and plasmas. It could be perform throughout Molecular Statics and …
Methods
Ellipsometry is an optical technique for analyzing and characterizing an interface or a layer between two surfaces. The method is based on the measure of the change of polarization …
Methods
Dual polarization interferometry is a relatively new technique, which explores the molecular layers adsorbed to the surface of a waveguide by means of an electromagnetic evanescent wave of …
Methods
The Langmuir trough is a laboratory apparatus used to create and characterize single molecule thick films by controlling the packing density of the molecules. The idea of a Langmuir …
Methods
Basics The Single Chain Mean Field (SCMF) theory was originally proposed by Ben-Shaul, Szleifer and Gelbart to describe micellization of block copolymers. This method has further been developed to describe the structure …
Individual projects
Theoretical physics, theory in soft matter, computer simulations Objectives In many cases the properties of cell membranes are modified through biopolymers and small solute molecules such as anesthetics or …
