DOPC lipid and gold (Au) nanocrystals used for vesicle formation. DOPC is a glycerophosphatidylcholine with two monounsaturated fatty acid chains located at the sn1 and sn2 positions, and the hydrophilic phosphatidylcholine head group at the sn3 position. The DOPC molecular weight, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and lamellar gel to liquid crystal phase transition temperature (Tm) are derived from Marsh.36 The lipid bilayer thickness is based on measurements by Nagle et al.37
