Abstract
A compound was synthesized that binds to a phospholipid bilayer via a hydrophobic steroid thereby projecting a strong multi-hydrogen bonding unit into the surrounding water. As shown by light scattering, light microscopy, and cryo-HRSEM, this latter unit self-adheres and induces membrane-membrane attachments, as found in many biological systems.
