Although membranes are postulated to be one of the cellular targets for silybin, little is known about its interaction with phospholipid bilayers. In the present work, the interactions of silybin ...

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Some viruses, such as the culprits behind influenza and COVID-19, also have a protective outer "envelope" called a phospholipid bilayer, which is similar to the membrane that surrounds human cells.
