Adsorption of surfactants to fluid interfaces occurs in numerous technological and daily-life
contexts. The coverage at the interface and other properties of the formed adsorption layers …

Surfactants play an increasingly important role across diverse scientific and industrial
domains. Gaining a deeper understanding of their molecular behavior at various interfaces …

Interactions of anions with hydrophobic surfaces of proteins and water-soluble polymers
depend on the ability of the ions to shed their hydration shells. At positively charged …

Biological membranes predominantly consist of fluid lipid phases featuring lateral mobility
and a considerable disorder of their hydrocarbon chains. Langmuir monolayers of lipids at …

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are essential delivery vehicles in mRNA-based vaccines, with
their functionality largely governed by aminolipids. At low pH, protonated aminolipids …

Constant pH Molecular Dynamics (CpHMD) simulations represent a cutting-edge
computational approach for studying biological systems with remarkable realism. Recent …

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are efficient and safe carriers for mRNA vaccines based on
advanced ionizable lipids. It is understood that the pH dependent structural transition of the …

Harnessing the precision of DNA origami and the sensitivity of single-molecule
Fluorescence Energy Transfer (sm-FRET), this dissertation aims to make a contribution to …
