Topological connection between vesicles and nanotubes in single-molecule lipid membranes driven by head-tail interactions
Niki Baccile, Cédric Lorthioir, Abdoul Aziz Ba +5
Lipid nanotube-vesicle networks are important channels for intercellular communication and transport of matter. Experimentally observed in neighboring mammalian cells, but also rep…
Synthesis and self-assembly of aminyl and alkynyl substituted sophorolipids
Abdoul Aziz, Jonas Everaert, Alexandre Poirier +6
Sophorolipids are one of the most important microbial biosurfactants, because of their large-scale production and applications developed so far in the fields of detergency, microbi…
Single-Molecule Lamellar Hydrogels from Bolaform Microbial Glucolipids
Ghazi Ben Messaoud, Patrick Le Griel, Sylvain Prévost +5
Lipid lamellar hydrogels are rare soft fluids composed of a phospholipid lamellar phase instead of fibrillar networks. The mechanical properties of these materials are controlled b…
Extending SAXS instrument ranges through addition of a portable, inexpensive USAXS module
Brian R. Pauw, Andrew J. Smith, Tim Snow +8
Ultra-SAXS can enhance the capabilities of existing SAXS/WAXS beamlines and laboratory instruments. A compact Ultra-SAXS module has been developed, which extends the measurable …
