The basic structural element of biological membranes is the lipid bilayer. This bimolecular
leaflet configuration is quite stable, and, obviously, membranes resist a gross departure from …

A broad overview of recent progress in membrane fusion research, treating the subject from
the fields of biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, virology, and biotechnology. Featuring …

Stratum corneum lipids are relatively complex, and there is little detailed understanding of
their chemical and physical properties at the molecular level. Large unilamellar vesicles …

It has been known for nearly a decade that electric field pulses can be used to induce
membrane fusion. Fusion induced in this way is now almost universally called …

The mechanism of membrane fusion was studied by using human erythrocyte ghosts held in
close contact by alternating current-induced dielectrophoresis and inducing fusion with a …

Ultrastructural analysis of biological membrane fusion and a tentative correlation with biochemical
and biophysical aspects Page 107 95 Chapter 6 ULTRASTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF …

Fusion of the intracellular storage organelles with the cytoplasmic face of the plasma
membranes is the ultimate event in the stimulus-secretion coupling in most secretory cells …

The electric field method of fusing membranes is significant for the general study of
membrane fusion mechanisms because of the following unique possibilities i) the condition …

Membrane fusion is an essential element of enveloped viral infectivity. Efforts to understand
the molecular details of this process have focused on specific lipid interactions and more …
