The report will include an idea for an experimental study of the accelerated particles radiation effect of on lipid membranes. Cell membranes are predominantly built from phospholipids or more precisely phospholipids serve as the cell’s membrane backbone. Due to the complexity of cells in general (subcellular components, cell wall and etc.) certain simplifications are necessary for fundamental initial research. That’s where model lipid systems (synthetic lipids) step in. They are mimmetic systems which makes them perfect for physics research regarding cell membrane behavior. Assessment of the different additions influence, as well as ionizing radiations, depending on the task, on cell membranes are easily achievable this way.
