This research demonstrates how perfluorooctanoic acid affects lipid membranes, suggesting insights for PFAS toxicity and remediation.

To examine the interaction of perfluoroalkyl substances with lipid membranes and their implications for toxicity.
Investigated perfluorooctanoic acid's effects on POPC membranes using solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy.
Used molecular dynamics simulations to connect molecular interactions to membrane structure.
Applied small-angle X-ray scattering for mesoscopic structural analysis.
PFOA alters the structural and dynamic properties of lipid membranes composed of POPC.
Findings indicate that increasing PFOA concentration modulates lipid order parameters.
Quantitative descriptions of lipid packing and membrane organization were achieved.

Koisiah et al. (2026) studied this question.
