Abstract
The swelling of phospholipid unilamellar vesicles under an osmotic shock can be followed by stopped-flow transmittance measurements, which make it possible to evaluate “directly” the mechanical properties of the membrane. The double-layer membrane is reinforced by rigid “pegs” (cholesterol, hopanoids), or rigid “rivets” (distally hydrophilic carotenoids).
