Title

Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Acyl-L-carnitine at the water/air Interface and itsinteraction with DPPG monolayer

Abstract

Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use neutron reflection as the unique technique to determine how acyl-L-carnitines interact with DPPG monolayer which can help to study how acyl-L-carnitines kill the bacteria. Because the head group has special charge responses to pH, it will be of interest to examine how acyl-L-carnitines interact with DPPG monolayer with pH and ionic strength. We request 2 days of FIGARO beam time to complete the proposed measurements.
