Question

Under certain conditions it becomes more favourable for the formation of closed spherical bilayers (vesicles). show that 1=2 < a0lc < 1, the radius of the smallest vesicle that may be formed without forcing the headgroup area, a, in the outer monolayer to exceed the optimal headgroup area, a0, is given by rc lc 3 + √ 3 4 a0lc ???? 1 6(1 ???? a0lc )

Answer 1
