Raman analysis of polyethylene glycols and polyethylene oxides [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018 We present Raman study of commercial liquids and powders of polyethylene glycols and polyethylene oxides with the average molecular weight from 400 Da to 10000 kDa. The most significant spectral changes were observed for the range of the molecular weights, where the liquid/semisolid transition has occurred.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...
