Crowding-induced morphological changes in synthetic lipid vesicles determined using smFRET

Lipid vesicles are valuable mesoscale molecular confinement vessels for studying membrane mechanics and lipid–protein interactions, and they have found utility among bio-inspired technologies, including drug delivery vehicles. While vesicle morphology can be modified by changing the lipid compositio...
