=== Biological membranes ===
{{Main|Biological membrane}}
Biological membranes consist of individual [[phospholipid]] molecules that have self-assembled into a [[Lipid bilayer|bilayer]] structure due to [[Non-covalent interaction|non-covalent interactions]]. The localized, low energy associated with the forming of the [[membrane]] allows for the elastic deformation of the large-scale structure.<ref name=":17">{{Cite journal |last=Brown |first=Michael F. |date=2017-05-22 |title=Soft Matter in Lipid–Protein Interactions |url=https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-biophys-070816-033843 |journal=Annual Review of Biophysics |language=en |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=379–410 |doi=10.1146/annurev-biophys-070816-033843 |pmid=28532212 |issn=1936-122X}}</ref>
