Optical Switches for Lipid Membranes: Computed Molecular Projection Area as a Switch Selection Criterion

Optical switches in lipid membranes are an emerging tool to tune the properties of the bilayer or membrane protein integrated therein. Here, we use simple geometry and physics considerations to deduce structural criteria to design efficient photoactivated switches for lipid membranes. We compare how...
