The properties of lipid bilayers, such as their mechanical strength andbending rigidity, are of critical importance for biological function.We will present new methodology for measuring these properties using molecularsimulation. Also, aggregation of carbon nanoparticles in lipid membranes isassessed because of the strong link between aggregation and toxicity.
