This increase in width (hw) of the donor-acceptor distance distributions is reflective of increasing flexibility of the liposomes with increasing asymmetry of their constituent lipids. Thus, the results from AFM and FRET studies are complementary to each other and indicates that an increase in asymmetry of the hydrophobic lipid chains increases elasticity and or flexibility of the corresponding liposomes. Cell biology experiments confirm that liposomal flexibility or rigidity directly influences their cellular transfection efficiency
