The interaction and fusion of bilayers formed from unsaturated lipids
European Biophysics Journal, 1991The interactions between unsaturated phospholipid bilayers deposited on mica were measured in aqueous solution using a surface forces apparatus. The bilayers were made of L-alpha-dioleoylphosphatidyl-choline (DOPC), L-alpha-dioleoylphosphatidyl ethanolamine (DOPE), and mixtures of the two, and were formed on mica by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition after ...

Reaction characteristics and mechanisms of lipid bilayer vesicle fusion
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1984Abstract Small unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicles were prepared from brain phosphatidylserine, egg phosphatidylcholine, and synthetic dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, and were fused into larger structures by freezing and thawing, addition of calcium chloride, and passage through the lipid phase transition temperature.

Target-selective vesicle fusion induced by molecular recognition on lipid bilayers
Chem. Commun., 2009A novel programmable membrane fusion system driven by selective molecular recognition between diols and boronic acids on the different vesicles was constructed in this study.

Serotonin Promotes Vesicular Association and Fusion by Modifying Lipid Bilayers
The Journal of Physical Chemistry BAbstractThe primary event in chemical neurotransmission involves the fusion of a membrane-limited vesicle at the plasma membrane and the subsequent release of its chemical neurotransmitter cargo. The cargo itself is not known to have any effect on the fusion event. However, amphiphilic monoamine neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine) are known

Fusion of Lipid Vesicles with Planar Lipid Bilayers Induced by a Combination of Peptides
Langmuir, 2011We studied the peptide-induced membrane fusion process between small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) and supported planar bilayers (SPBs) with the aim of developing a method for incorporating membrane components into SPBs. As fusogenic peptides, two analogues of the N-terminal region of an influenza membrane fusion protein hemaggulutinin, anionic E5 and ...

Protein-mediated intermembrane contact facilitates fusion of lipid vesicles with planar bilayers
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1984Fusion of phospholipid vesicles with planar bilayer membranes occurs provided there is an intermembrane contact, which can be mediated by phospholipid-binding proteins, even in the absence of calcium. The firm attachment phase is then followed by the osmotically-driven fusion.

pH-dependent Self-association of Influenza Hemagglutinin Fusion Peptides in Lipid Bilayers
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2000We have recently designed a host-guest peptide system that allows us to quantitatively measure the energetics of interaction of viral fusion peptides with lipid bilayers. Here, we show that fusion peptides of influenza hemagglutinin reversibly associate with one another at membrane surfaces above critical surface concentrations, which range from one to

Fusion of lipid bilayers: a model involving mechanistic connection to HII phase forming lipids
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1992A model for the molecular mechanism of the fusion of lipid bilayers is described. A crucial feature of this model and related to the lamellar-->hexagonal phase HII transition is a novel, hypothetical lipid conformation, tentatively referred to here as extended.

Redistribution of lipid probes at early stages of bilayer lipid membrane fusion.
Membrane & cell biology, 1997Redistribution of hydrophobic probes (R18 and dipicrylamine DPA-) through a water gap between two bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) was studied. Both probes are widely used for monitoring lipid redistribution in different cell systems. The donor membrane loaded with the probe was brought into a close contact with the acceptor membrane, and the ...
