Figure 1

a) Structure of the simulated liposome; the mTHPC molecules are represented in red, the phosphate groups of the DPPC and DPPG molecules are represented in blue and cyan, respectively, whereas the alkyl chains are pictured in grey. The structure has been clipped to show also the inner layer of the double layer. The structural formula of the two phospholipids 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylglycerol sodium salt (DPPG) and the Temoporfin (mTHPC) photosensitizer are shown. b) Schematic representation of the structure of a liposome and of a phospholipid, highlighting the polar head and the hydrophobic tails.
