摘要：

A photosensitive amphiphilic molecule can switch the shape of an assembled vesicle as determined by microscopic observation. Photoisomerization induces a change in membrane fluctuation behavior or a morphological transition between ellipsoid and bud shapes, depending on the asymmetrical degree of the initial shape. The mechanism of this reversible photoswitching in the vesicle morphology is interpreted in terms of a change in the effective cross-sectional area of the photosensitive molecule.
