Lipids, sometimes regarded as amphiphiles or surfactants, are simple amphipathic molecules, possessing a polar headgroup and a hydrophobic tail. These molecules can spontaneously aggregate to form structurally-diverse assemblies such as micelles and vesicles when present above certain threshold concentrations (e.g. critical micelle concentration, CMC). As the primary component of the membranes of all living cells, assemblies of lipids and their growth dynamics have been the focus of research for many decades . This uncovered the technological usefulness of lipid assemblies, particularly in the fields of medicine and synthetic chemistry . It has also offered insights on both the thermodynamic attributes of lipid assemblies, such as structural stability and electrostatics, and their kinetic parameters, such as their catalytic parameters .
