Components of Cell Membranes
... One of the main components of membranes are phospholipids, a type of lipid made from two fatty acid chain ‘tails’ attached to a phosphate group ‘head’. The phosphate group head is polar and hydrophilic (‘water-loving’), while the fatty acid chains of the tail are nonpolar and hydrophobic (‘water-hat ...

Ethanol-induced non-lamellar phases in phospholipids
The presence of ethanol can lead to the formations of non-lamellar phases also known as non-bilayer phases. Ethanol has been recognized as being an excellent solvent in an aqueous solution for inducing non-lamellar phases in phospholipids. The formation of non-lamellar phases in phospholipids is not completely understood, but it is significant that this amphiphilic molecule is capable of doing so. The formation of non-lamellar phases is significant in biomedical studies which include drug delivery, the transport of polar and non-polar ions using solvents capable of penetrating the biomembrane, increasing the elasticity of the biomembrane when it is being disrupted by unwanted substances (viruses, bacteria, solvents, etc.) and functioning as a channel or transporter of biomaterial.
