Abstract
Accurate stiffness measurements on the lipid MB BR14 are possible with Atomic Force Microscopy. No dependence of stiffness to MB size was found, but further measurements are required to assess this. The MB shell Young modulus extracted with a simple model disagreed with other findings, and a new structural model is required to test the contribution of the gas in the MB stiffness.
