Phe intercalation into the DPPE model membrane. EFM images show the membrane morphology before (a) and 2 h after (b) Phe injection. Red staining indentifies the membrane Ld phase. Phe injection causes the area of Ld phase to expand plausibly due to the intercalation of Phe, which is depicted in the schematic (c). Images are for a DPPE monolayer initially at an A of ~ 52 Å2/molecule on PBS at 37 °C. Scale bar is 50 μm
