Abstract:The dynamic behaviour of lipid vesicles in response to the incorporation of toxic acetonitrile is investigated. Shape data from previous observations are used to estimate the incorporation of acetonitrile into a 1,2‐dioleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine (DOPC) vesicle. A bilayer‐couple model is used to quantify the disparity in incorporation between the outer and inner leaflets. The model assumes that the prolate spheroid corresponds to a reduced volume vnormalR=0.97
