Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) in the external environment of membrane vesicles
creates osmotic imbalance that leads to mechanical stress in membranes and may induce …

It has recently been observed (Gruner, Lenk, Janoff and Ostro (1985) Biochemistry, in the
press) that mechanical dispersion of dry lipid in an aqueous buffer to form multilamellar …

Membrane fusion is vital for the functioning of many cells. However, membranes show
virtually no tendency to fuse randomly. Highly specific factors, most likely membrane-bound …

Pyranine is shown to be a convenient and sensitive probe for reporting pH values, pH i, at
the interior of anionic and at the outer surface of cationic liposomes. It is well shielded from …

The effect of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate on fusion between large unilamellar vesicles
comprised of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn …

Animal cell membranes pose conceptual problems related to the physical chemistry of
liquids. An avenue to the solution of some of these problems has been opened by the …

We have emphasized the general lessons learned by measuring the forces between and
within many kinds of phospholipid bilayers. Interbilayer forces within about 30 Å separation …

The kinetics of addition of fatty acids (as alkaline solutions of the fatty acid anions) to pre-
existing unilamellar phospholipid vesicles (mean diameter 100nm) has been studied. The …
