A schematic shows a spherical micelle composed of single-tailed amphipathic lipids, with hydrophilic head groups facing the solvent and hydrophobic acyl chains sequestered inside, forming a nonpolar core in aqueous solution. In hierarchy, lipid monomers self-assemble into a supramolecular complex. In biochemistry and biophysics, such aggregates solubilize hydrophobic molecules, enable detergent action, and are used in drug-delivery formulations. Micellization occurs above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The depicted entity is a molecular assembly rather than a cell, tissue, or organ.
