The pressing need of new antimicrobial products is growing stronger, particularly because of widespread antimicrobial resistance, endangering our ability to treat common infections. The recent coronavirus pandemic has dramatically highlighted the necessity of effective antibacterial and antiviral protection. This work explores at the molecular level the mechanism of action of …
On 31 January, Irene Marzuoli, who was co-supervised by Prof. Franca Fraternali in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biology, was examined by Prof. Syma Khalid (University of Southampton) and Prof. Fernando Bresme (Imperial College London) during her PhD viva. Irene’s viva was during the afternoon, and in the end the examiners …
We are excited that our recent paper in which we reported the results of a multi-disciplinary investigation of the antimicrobial activity of protein pseudocapsids (ACS Nano (2020) 14, 1609-1622) has been garnering a lot of attention within the media and the scientific community since its publication. This paper contained simulation …
Surfactant-covered aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life. These interfaces play a key role in various commercial products, where surfactants adsorb onto the surface of bubbles or oil droplets to stabilize foams and emulsions. Examples of such foams and emulsions are commonly found in pharmaceuticals, detergents, cosmetics and lubricants. In …
