1.To develop convergent methodology of studying curved and asymmetric lipid membranes by the combination of experimental techniques and computer simulations.
2.To study the influence of the membrane asymmetry and curvature on the translocation of metal-based anti-cancer drugs through the membranes.
3.To determine molecular determinants of the drug molecules, which maximize their cellular uptake and translocation through the membrane depending on the membrane lipid composition and curvature.
4.To study the influence of the membrane lipid charge asymmetry and curvature on the TM of integral membrane proteins, such as lactose permease and photosynthetic reaction centers.
5.To investigate the influence of the membrane environment on release of metalbased anti-cancer drugs from drug delivery carbon materials.
