monolayer

Preposition: of

• molecule: A convenient template is a Langmuir film, a monolayer of organic molecules spread on a liquid, usually water.
• cell: This consists of monolayers of cells of a specific type e.g. liver grown in culture medium.

Converse of object

• form: Many of their applications utilize the ability of these particles to stay firmly attached to oil-water interfaces, thus forming particle monolayers.
• adsorb: For example, what is the transition temperature on HOPG of an isolated adsorbed monolayer not in contact with bulk liquid crystal?
• assemble: Therefore the focus of my DPhil research is on protein resistant self assembled monolayers ( SAMs ).
• graft: The surface properties will be controlled by chemically grafting monolayers with different functional groups on the outer surface.

Adjective modifier

• self-assembled: To the best of our knowledge this is the first example of sensing of cations in water by a self-assembled monolayer on glass.
• first: The reagents used for cleaning will be likely to penetrate the porous body and residual contamination may well be found beyond the first monolayer.
• epithelial: Cellular invasion can be duplicated in vitro with polarized epithelial cell monolayers, and parasites ' activated ' to acquire infectivity.
• organic: Phase Transitions The difficulties in imaging organic monolayers are increased by instabilities at elevated temperatures.
• few: This theory is based on SIMS experiments which show the presence of about 1 % of carbon in the top few monolayers.
• atomic: It is quite a challenge to obtain clear EXAFS signals from samples with a mean thickness of only 12 atomic monolayers.

Modifies a noun

• culture: To aid us in studying these early events after infection, we have developed a monolayer culture system that produces HPVs.
• technique: Catherine is skilled in electron microscopy and has pioneered the lipid monolayer technique for producing 2D arrays of proteins.
• structure: The changes in crystal morphology observed under the different monolayers were attributed to changes in the monolayer structure as a function of chain length.
• integrity: Cultured GEnC respond to ang1 with an increase in monolayer integrity associated with an upregulation of junctional adhesion molecules.
• permeability: Using HUVEC cultures we have sought to investigate the potential of tryptase to alter monolayer permeability or induce the release of neutrophil chemotactic activity.

Noun used with modifier

• lipid: An ellipsometer has been installed in order to follow the absorption process of the protein to the lipid monolayer.
• cell: The cell monolayers will also be employed in transport studies to investigate the ability of ZOT to facilitate protein transport across the tight junctions.
• phospholipid: A. Nelson 2001, Conducting gramicidin activity in phospholipid monolayers, Biophys.
