Abstract
It is known that trehalose has the ability to protect biotissue against dry and low temperature stresses. We observed by high speed atomic force microscopy that lipid bilayers on mica bearing some defects are restored with addition of trehalose solution (5 wt%). Moreover, the orientation and structure of lipid bilayer changed in presence of trehalose with high concentration (10 wt%).
