Abstract

Biophysics Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
Lipid vesicles, or liposomes have been widely studied both as a model for cell membranes and for applications such as drug delivery. As a rule, their aqueous environment (in vitro or in vivo) contains various degradation agents, ranging from free radicals to acids and enzymes. This paper investigates the degradation of lipid vesicles as a function of environmental conditions using 3d Monte- Carlo simulations.
