Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers

Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers

We investigate the structural changes to lipid membrane that ensue from the addition of aliphatic alcohols with various alkyl tail lengths. Small angle neutron diffraction from flat lipid bilayers that are hydrated through water vapor has been employed to eliminate possible artefacts of the membrane...
