Structural information about the interactions between membrane proteins and their ligands
provides insights into the membrane protein functions. A variety of surfactants have been …

Cation-induced aggregation of acidic phospholipid vesicles consisting of
dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG), dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine (DPPS) …

Complexation of synthetic polycations with negative lipid vesicles as cell-mimetic species
was studied. It was found that such interaction could be accompanied by lateral lipid …

The effect of lipid headgroup and curvature-related acyl packing stress on PEG-induced
phospholipid vesicle aggregation and fusion were studied by measuring vesicle and …

Combining small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and
densitometric measurements, we have studied the interactions of the divalent cations Ca2+ …

Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we have developed an assay to
monitor individual fusion events between proteoliposomes containing vesicle soluble N …

Revised Manuscript Received September 24, 1984 abstract: A new liposome fusion assay
has been developed that monitors the mixing of aqueous contents at neutral and low pH …

The effects of monovalent cations on the interfacial electrostatic potential (ψd),
hydrodynamic shear boundary distance (ds), and membrane curvature were studied in large …

We report a combined dynamic light scattering and neutron spin-echo study on vesicles
composed of the uncharged stabilizing lipid 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3 …
