Effects of sodium salts of lyotropic anions on low-temperature, ordered lipid monolayers
Christoforou, Maria; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Brezesinski, G. (2012)Electrolytes are known to impart considerable disorder to lipid assemblies, including monolayers at the air-water interface, bilayers, and vesicles. In the present work, we have investigated the disordering effect of sodium ...

Influence of nanoreactor environment and substrate location on the activity of horseradish peroxidase in olive oil based water-in-oil microemulsions
Tzika, Evangelia D.; Christoforou, Maria; Pispas, Stergios; Zervou, Maria; Papadimitriou, Vassiliki; Sotiroudis, Theodore G.; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Xenakis, Aristotelis (2011)Oxidative enzymatic reactions using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were carried out in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions composed of olive oil/lecithin/1-propanol/water, a model biomimetic system. The substrates used (gallic ...

The ion-lipid battle for hydration water and interfacial sites at soft-matter interfaces
Leontidis, Epameinondas; Christoforou, Maria; Georgiou, Christiana A.; Delclos, Thomas (2014)At charged surfaces "bound" ions reduce the repulsive electrostatic forces, while dissociated ions control the osmotic pressure in colloidal systems. For systems charged through ionic adsorption on the other hand, the ...
