I suppose I'll need a little more information before I can say much.  What  
exactly are you working on?  Lipid bilayers can be made into liquid crystals (a  
multilamellar stack), and I'm sure that under the right conditions there are  
plenty of other biological molecules which can be made into a liquid crystal.   
What are you doing with/to the liquid crystals?
