Analysis of protein interactions at native chloroplast membranes by ellipsometry. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Membrane bound receptors play vital roles in cell signaling, and are the target for many drugs, yet their interactions with ligands are difficult to study by conventional techniques due to the technical difficulty of monitoring these interactions in ...

The effect of polar lipids on tear film dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we present a mathematical model describing the effect of polar lipids on the evolution of a precorneal tear film, with the aim of explaining the interesting experimentally observed phenomenon that the tear film continues to move upwards ...

Imaging optical thicknesses and separation distances of phospholipid vesicles at solid surfaces [PDF]

, 1992
We present the application of reflection interference contrast microscopy (RICM) (1) to map the optical density of supported bilayers and vesicles and (2) to image the contact profile of phospholipid vesicles at surfaces.
