Summary Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is responsible for nonshivering
thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Upon activation by long-chain fatty acids …

Translational motion in solution, either diffusion or fluid flow, is at the heart of chemical and
biochemical reactivity. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) provides a powerful non …

Two series of long-chain imidazolium and pyridinium based ionic liquids (1-alkyl-3-
methylimidazolium and 1-alkylpyridinium bromides) were synthesised and the effect of the …

Imine self-assembly stands as a potent strategy for the preparation of molecular organic
cages. However, challenges persist, such as water insolubility and limited recognition …

An empirical model for the concentrations of monomeric and micellized surfactants in
solution is presented as a consistent approach for the quantitative analysis of data obtained …

Biocompatible cationic surfactants from the amino acid lysine (hydrochloride salts of Nɛ-
lauroyl lysine methyl ester, Nɛ-myristoyl lysine methyl ester and Nɛ-palmitoyl lysine methyl …

A variety of NMR methods applied to different types of surfactant aggregates, predominantly
micelles, are reviewed. The treatment attempts to be short but pedagogical instead of being …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is routinely used to measure the diffusion of surfactant
micelles. Theory and experiment suggest, however, that the microscopic concentration …

Typically, the formation of vesicles requires the addition of salts or other additives to
surfactant micelles. However, in the case of catanionic surfactants, unilamellar vesicles can …

The interactions between a polyelectrolyte and an oppositely charged surfactant allows
obtaining complexes with specific properties. Such complexes between a quaternized …
