bilayer

Lipid bilayer is a self-assembled equilibrium 2D structure where the heads of the lipids are oriented towards the solvent and the tails form hydrophobic core

Mutual adaptation of the structure in molecular motors and impact of structural changes in the thermodynamic efficiency of the molecular motor. Open PhD position   more

Translocation of nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and polymers through bilayers

Cell membranes represent a serious protective barrier for external molecules, proteins, nanoparticles and drugs. This barrier is quite efficient in protecting the interior of the cells. However, large
