Schematic of micelle stabilization. (A) Lipid monomers (1) form micelles above a critical micelle concentration (2), but this particle formation is disrupted by interactions with serum proteins (3) and dilution in vivo. (B) Intermolecular interactions between diC18-UGGGU headgroups result in G-quadruplex formation.
