| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For long, water has been considered as just a background medium for the self-assembly of soft matter including biomolecules. However, the present study clarified that structural changes of phospholipid bilayers strongly depends on their hydration states from the measurements of terahertz spectroscopy and small angle-X-ray scattering. Further, ion-dependence of stacking structure of phospholipid membranes revealed that water has some “role” for the interactions between the membranes.
