Phospholipids as Nucleic Acid Delivery Excipients: Phospholipids are unique and versatile molecules that are a key component of all cell membranes. A phospholipid consists of two basic parts: the hydrophilic head and the hydrophobic tail. The hydrophilic head consists of a glycerol molecule bound to a phosphate group. These groups are polar and are attracted to water.
