Alterations of lipid bilayers under photo-induced oxidation
In this talk I will discuss the transformations occurring in lipid membranes exposed to photo-induced oxidation, a natural metabolic outcome of life with oxygen under light, but also a salient oxidation reaction in photomedicine treatments.
After summarizing our recent methodological innovations in the field of the self-assembling of model membranes, I will describe efforts to understand alterations of lipid membrane structure, mechanics and phase behavior following the formation of photo-induced lipid products.
I will conclude by highlighting current exciting developments and future challenges for this field.
