Abstract
The understanding of the interaction between nanoparticles (NPs) and lipid membranes is important to the development of safe and effective nanomaterials for a variety of biomedical applications. The adhesion of a spherical NP on lipid membranes leads to its wrapping by the membrane, and to a deformation of the membrane over lengthscales longer than the NP’s size. These deformations lead to effective attractive interactions between the NPs and to their self-assembly on the membrane into structures such as chains, rings and tubes1.
