The understanding of the function of cellular membranes requires the study of their structure and dynamics. Cellular membranes are complex assemblies of lipids and proteins. In particular the lipid scaffold, is composed by a large variety of lipid species and levels of chain unsaturation, often difficult to synthesise chemically. Because of this complexity, model membrane systems from simple...
Biophysics is a scientific field of study that uses basic principles in physics and chemistry to unravel the details of biological phenomena. It is a multidisciplinary field that also uses mathematical methods to predict/explain the function, dynamics and structural organization of biological systems. Specialties in biophysics include computational biophysics, membrane biophysics, protein...
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a partnership of European Nations collectively building and operating the world’s leading user facility for research using neutrons. The ESS will provide unique possibilities for life science research due to high flux, specialized instruments, and support labs for sample preparation and characterization. This will enable faster measurements on smaller...
