Abstract
⺠A degradation of DPPC bilayers as a result of vipoxin's PLA2 was visualized by AFM. ⺠Time-series AFM images were obtained during the degradation process. ⺠The area and the perimeter length of the occurred bilayer defects were measured. ⺠The appearance and the growth of 3D-crystal-like structures were observed. ⺠The volume and growth rate of 3D-structures were estimated by applied image analysis.
