In the last many years, we have focused on the study of structural properties of amphiphilic dispersions, and its interactions with biomolecules. Accordingly, we built up a rather well-equipped laboratory, with the appropriate physical techniques, mostly financed by FAPESP. The present proposal is concerned about fundamental studies, but also focuses on the better understanding of the bio…

This proposal is constituted by several studies to be carried out in the next two years at the laboratory of the Biophysical Group of the Physics Institute of the University of São Paulo, under my supervision. They focus both on basic and applied science. On one side, we are interested in understanding the interactions present in anionic lipid aqueous dispersions, the structures formed by…

Since ancient times, anthraquinones are used as medicines. Currently, it is known that they have a wide variety of pharmacological activities. In particular, emodin and barbaloin have roused considerable interest in the scientific community, related to their characteristics and form of interaction with biological systems, including biological membranes. This project is a necessary complem…
The work to be developed by the student Marcos Kunihiro Masukawa is part of a broader project of the Biophysics Group of the Institute of Physics, University of São Paulo, which aims to characterize the structure of amphiphilic aggregates in aqueous solution (FAPESP 2013/14419-3). Particularly, the study of cationic amphiphiles is the topic studied by the post-doctor Dr. Julio H.K. Rozenf…

This project complements the current regular research project (DD - FAPESP Process 2013/14296-9), and is part of a comprehensive study about structural properties of aqueous dispersion of amphiphilic aggregates, at the Biophysical Group of the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo, in collaboration with several groups, involving theoretical models and experiments.The aim of …
Biological cells possess dynamic and highly functional interfaces, comprised of athin lipid membrane sandwiched between two porous, elastic substrates- the actincortex and the extracellular matrix. With the recent physical insights on thin filmdynamics, the question of whether the stratified architecture of the cell interfaceplays a role in the biological phenomena becomes highly relevant…
The present Project complements the PhD Project (FAPESP 2010/11671-5), extending it to the study of the interaction of antimicrobial peptides with more complex model membranes, those which contain lipid domains, sometimes called "rafts". This is in line with the presence of non-uniform mixing of lipids in biological membranes. The functional lipid raft was found to be related to the cell …
