After an introductory review of the physics of lipid-bilayer selfassembly, we discuss the origins of the area-difference elasticity model, a Landau-like theory which describes the mesoscale shape mechanics of bilayer sheets and vesicles. We introduce the notion of a phase diagram for mechanically st
Palmitoyl-, myristoyl-and lauroylcarnitine destabilize small unilamellar vesicles of 1,2-dipaimitoyl-n-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-n-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (DMPC) into multilamellar fiposomes. Their effect on the bilayer is dependent on the acyl chain length of the ac
