small unilamellar phosphatidylserine-containing vesicles was investigated. The kinetics of …

A sensitive method which utilizes fluorescence energy transfer to assay Ca 2+-or Mg 2+-
mediated fusion of phospholipid vesicles is reported. More than 85% quenching results …

We have investigated the initial kinetics of Ca 2+-induced aggregation and fusion of
phosphatidylserine large unilamellar vesicles at 3, 5 and 10 mM Ca 2+ and 15, 25 and 35° …

The relative kinetics of intermixing and release of liposome aqueous contents during Ca 2+-
induced membrane fusion has been investigated. Fusion was monitored by the Tb …

phosphatidylserines havebeen synthesized, along with the corresponding …

Fusion between vesicles prepared from individual or mixed phospholipid species was
demonstrated by ultracentrifugation and gel-filtration techniques, electron microscopy and …
