Light-Switchable Membrane Permeability in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

In this work, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were synthesized by blending the natural phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-<i>sn</i>-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) with a photoswitchable amphiphile (<b>1</b>) that undergoes photoisomerization upon irradiation with UV-A (<...
