Title

Stiffness of Lipid Bilayer Membranes in Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a novel class of solvents that support amphiphile self-assembly into micelles, vesicles, liquid crystals and microemulsions, but which themselves can also exhibit amphiphilic nanostructure. Here we propose investigating how the flexibility of fluid phospholipid (egg lecithin; POPC) bilayers in ILs differs from that in water, and how it is affected by the nature and extent of solvent nanostructure.
