Effect of quercetin on lipid membrane rigidity: assessment by atomic force microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations

Quercetin (3,3ʹ,4ʹ,5,7-pentahydroxyl-flavone) is a natural flavonoid with many valuable biological effects, but its solubility in water is low, posing major limitations in applications. Quercetin encapsulation in liposomes increases its bioavailability; the drug effect on liposome elastic properties...
