Lipid peroxidation plays an important role in cell signaling and disease as well as therapy, however, the effect on the membrane structure and mechanical behavior remains poorly understood. Here, the authors report the direct and quantitative measurement of the bilayer’s structure and viscoelastic properties upon peroxidation of lipid membranes.
