Self-Assembly of Rhamnolipids Bioamphiphiles: Understanding Structure-Properties Relationship using Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering
Niki Baccile, Alexandre Poirier, Javier Perez +6
The structure-properties relationship of rhamnolipids, RLs, well known microbial bioamphiphiles (biosurfactants), is exlored in detail by coupling cryogenic transmission electron m…
Shear recovery and temperature stability of Ca2+ and Ag+ glycolipid fibrillar metallogels with unusual -sheet-like domains
Alexandre Poirier, Thomas Bizien, Thomas Zinn +2
Low-molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are small molecules (Mw < ~1 kDa), which form self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFiN) hydrogels in water. The great majority of SAFiN gels is…
Energy Landscape of Sugar Conformation Controls the Sol-to-Gel Transition in Self-assembled Bola Glycolipid Hydrogels
Alexandre Poirier, Patrick Le Griel, Thomas Zinn +4
Self-assembled fibrillar network (SAFIN) hydrogels and organogels are commonly obtained by a crystallization process into fibers induced by external stimuli like temperature or pH.…
Connecting Structure, Conformation and Energetics of Human Telomere G-quadruplex Multimers
Benedetta Petra Rosi, Valeria Libera, Andrea Orecchini +7
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are helical four-stranded structures forming from guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences, which are thought to play a role in cancer development and malignant tra…
