I'm excited to announce our recent paper using muon spin resonance to study dynamics in model phospholipid biomembranes. This was a collaboration with Drew Marquardt (U. Windsor), Thomas Gutberlet (Jülich), and Robert Scheuermann (PSI). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Nanoscale dynamics in model phospholipid biomembranes probed by muon spin resonance spectroscopy: The effects of membrane composition and temperature on acyl chain and cholesterol motion

The physical properties of lipid bilayers are known to depend on their composition, but there has recently been controversy about whether cholesterol …

New paper out in J. Chem. Phys.! We used μSR to study binding or ortho- and para-substituted benzoate anions with bilayers of the di-chain cationic surfactants DHTAC and DODMAC. pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/arti...

The dynamics of substituted benzoate anions undergoing counterion condensation in lamellar phase dispersions

We have studied the interaction of three ortho-substituted benzoate anions (2-ethylbenzoate, 2-chlorobenzoate, and 2-hydroxybenzoate) and three para-substituted
