    AbstractShow full text abstract about Small hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with a diameter lower t...»
    Small hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with a diameter lower than the membrane thickness can form clusters or uniformly distribute within the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. The coexistence of two stable phases (clustered and dispersed) indicates the energy barrier between nanoparticles. It could be shown, that the forces between the nanoparticles embedded in the biological membrane could be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the mutual distance between them.
