TL;DR: It is shown that this behavior characterizes micellar growth along the hexagonal domain, with nearly spherical micelles at the isotropic I-H phase transition and practically infinite cylindrical micells at the H-${\mathit{Q}}^{230}$ (cubic bicontinuous, space group Ia3d) phase transition.

TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview about the use of x-ray diffraction and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy as techniques for characterizing lipid nanosystems recently developed by the research group.

TL;DR: The notion that α-synuclein fibrils are in a high-volume and high-compressibility state and hinting at the presence of a hydration-mediated activated state from which dissociation occurs is suggested to be associated to a negative activation volume.

TL;DR: This review reports on recent studies on the structural and thermodynamic properties of model proteins dissolved in binary solvent mixtures by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and differential scanning microcalorimetry (DSC) techniques and shows that the investigation of structure and thermodynamics of proteins in binary aqueous mixtures is an important way to understand the role of hydration in protein stability and activity.
