Self-assembly of beta-cyclodextrin in water. 2. Electron spin resonance.
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of amphipilic spin labels with beta-cyclodextrin was investigated using conventional electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to explore the aggregation of cyclodextrins in water.

Aggregate Structures in a Dilute Aqueous Dispersion of a Fluorinated/Hydrogenated Surfactant System. A Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy Study
TL;DR: In this article, the structural features of vesicles, micelles, and other aggregates spontaneously formed from a fluorinated surfactant (the ammonium salt of perfluoropolyether, PFPE) in dilute water solution were characterized by means of cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) at different betaine mole fractions.

Specific anion effects on the optical rotation of alpha-amino acids.
TL;DR: Specific interactions of anions with the chiral amino acids (Hofmeister effects) and salt-induced perturbations of the amino acid hydration shell appear to be responsible for the effects, and conformational changes in theChiral solutes due to the presence of ionic species are discussed.

Electron Spin Resonance and Differential Scanning Calorimetry as Combined Tools for the Study of Liposomes in the Presence of Long Chain Nitroxides
TL;DR: In this article, electron spin resonance (ESR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize both structure and dynamics of liposomes built up with dioleoyltrimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) and DOPE.

ESR as a valuable tool for the investigation of the dynamics of EPC and EPC/cholesterol liposomes containing a carboranyl-nucleoside intended for BNCT.
TL;DR: Higher ordering and increased rigidity of the membrane lipids were the result of the constraints exerted by the embedded carboranyl-nucleoside and an increased order and a hindered motion of the phospholipid membranes resulted in the presence of increasing CDU concentration.
