Membrane Viscosity

Membrane Viscosity is a biophysical property that quantifies the resistance of a lipid bilayer to shear deformation, distinguished from related membrane mechanical properties by its specific dependence on the internal friction among lipid molecules during lateral and rotational diffusion within the plane of the membrane.
