Abstract
A complex includes photoresponsive liposomes, a first buffer solution, and a second buffer solution. Each of the photoresponsive liposomes includes a membrane that contains azobenzene compound and phospholipid and a membrane binding site that is immobilized to the membrane and bindable to a target substance. The first buffer solution is filled inside the photoresponsive liposomes. The second buffer solution exists outside of the photoresponsive liposomes. The first buffer solution has a composition that is different from that of the second buffer solution.
