Membrane fusion mediates a number of fundamental biological processes such as
intracellular membrane trafficking, fertilization, and viral infection. Biological membranes are …

▪ Abstract Membrane fusion involves the merger of two phospholipid bilayers in an aqueous
environment. In artificial lipid bilayers, fusion proceeds by means of defined transition states …

Membrane fusion in exocytosis, intracellular trafficking, and enveloped viral infection is
thought to be mediated by specialized proteins acting to merge membrane lipid bilayers. We …

Membrane fusion proceeds via formation of intermediate nonbilayer structures. The stalk
model of fusion intermediate is commonly recognized to account for the major …

Specific fusion of biological membranes is a central requirement for many cellular
processes. 1 Membrane fusion involves the merging of the membranes of two different …

Membrane fusion is an essential process of biological cell function and is presumably
mediated by specific membrane proteins. Nevertheless, the final step is the rearrangement …

Membrane fusion occurs as part of processes as different as synaptic neurotransmitter
transmission and infection with influenza virus. Recent evidence paints a picture in which …

Processes such as endo-or exocytosis, membrane recycling, fertilization and enveloped
viruses infection require one or more critical membrane fusion reactions. A key feature in …

SNARE proteins are essential for different types of intracellular membrane fusion. Whereas
interaction between their cytoplasmic domains is held responsible for establishing …
