Membrane vesicles (MVs) are nanoparticles composed of lipid membranes that are
produced by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. MVs have been assigned …

The role of electron-acceptor—electron-donor, ie Lewis acid—base (AB) interfacial
interactions in polar media, especially in aqueous media, is reviewed, together with the role …

Thoroughly revised and reorganized, the second edition of Interfacial Forces in Aqueous
Media examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among biological …

Following the development of a methodology for determining the apolar components as well
as the electron donor and the electron acceptor parameters of the surface tension of polar …

It is shown that the “hydrophobic” attraction energy between two apolar moieties (as well as
between one polar and one apolar moiety) immersed in water is the sole consequence of …

A system of two planar bilayers holds a special place among the models employed for
investigating the mechanisms of membrane fusion. This is due to the fact that only this …

Membrane fusion is essential for cell survival and has attracted a great deal of both
theoretical and experimental interest. Fluorescence (de) quenching measurements were …

We have reviewed studies on calcium-induced fusion of lipid bilayer membranes and the
role of synexin and other calcium-binding proteins (annexins) in membrane fusion. We have …

Discusses measuring the surface properties of flat or particulate solids with contact angles of
drops of high-energy liquids deposited on solid surfaces or via the thin-layer wicking …

Disparate biological fusion reactions and fusion of purely lipid bilayers are similarly
influenced by 'non-bilayer'lipids (lipids which do not form lipid bilayers in water by …
