February 14, 1984 abstract: Polylysine promoted extensive membrane mixing of liposomes …

Publisher Summary Lipid vesicles or liposomes constitute an important and valuable model
to study fundamental elements involved in the mechanism of membrane fusion. Their …

The kinetics of Ca 2+-induced fusion of small unilamellar phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles
was investigated by continuous monitoring of the mixing of vesicle lipids and, in parallel, the …

Joe Bentz,* Nejat Düzgüne § , and Shlomo Nir abstract: Fusion and aggregation of
sonicated phosphati-dylserine small unilamellar vesicles (PS SUV) induced by the divalent …

Calcium-induced interaction of liposomes composed of pure phosphatidylserine (PS) has
been studied using a rapid-mixing, rapid-freeze device. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy …

This chapter examines assays for membrane fusion: two assays for the intermixing of
aqueous contents of phospholipid vesicles, and one for the mixing of membrane …

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 …

We have investigated the contribution of various phospholipids to membrane fusion induced
by divalent cations. Fusion was followed by means of a new fluorescence assay monitoring …

Studies on the fusion of phospholipid vesicles have provided considerable insight into the
molecular mechanism of membrane fusion and the role of specific molecules in this process …

Fusion of Negatively Charged abstract: Polyhistidine facilitates the fusion of negatively
charged liposomes prepared by sonication. Liposome fusion was demonstrated by (a) …
