X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy of hydrated lysozyme at elevated pressures

Milla Åhlfeldt, Maddalena Bin, Anita Girelli +12

Pressure provides a powerful parameter to control the protein conformation state, which at sufficiently high values can lead to unfolding. Here, we investigate the effects of incre…

Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments

Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Michelle Dargasz, Sonja Timmermann +27

Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in…

Supercritical density fluctuations and structural heterogeneity in supercooled water-glycerol microdroplets

Sharon Berkowicz, Iason Andronis, Anita Girelli +9

Recent experiments and theoretical studies strongly indicate that water exhibits a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in the supercooled domain. An open question is how the LLPT…
