Abstract
The aim of the present work was the study of the interaction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes filled with iron (Fe-MWCNTs) with bimolecular lipid model membrane (BLM) and cellular plasma membrane (PM). The findings demonstrate that the Fe-MWCNTs adsorb on the BLM surface with possible partial build up in the hydrophobic area of fatty acid residues of lipids and increase its specific conductivity and capacity. Furthermore, upon interaction with the PM, the Fe-MWCNTs form channels which allow the flow of water to the cells and the externalization of phosphatidylserine from the inner to the outer PM leaflet.
