Membrane fusion is one of the important cellular processes by which two initially distinct lipid bilayers merge their hydrophobic cores, resulting in one interc
Recent advancements in micro-/nano-biomechanical instruments, such as micromanipulation and optical tweezers, have enhanced the mechanical characterisation of b
Is protein folding deceptively simple? The complexity of the energy landscape of proteins leads in many cases to heterogeneous folding reactions, which defy obs
Microbes inhabit planet earth over billions of years and have adapted to diverse physical environments, particularly at or near interfaces.A uni-flagellated bac
Using a molecular theory for dilute PEO-b-PNIPAm solutions, we first take the formation of hydrogenbonds between copolymer monomers and water molecules into acc
