Rapid Membrane Fusion of Individual Virus Particles with Supported Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2007 Many enveloped viruses employ low-pH-triggered membrane fusion during cell penetration. Solution-based in vitro assays in which viruses fuse with liposomes have provided much of our current biochemical understanding of low-pH-triggered viral membrane fusion.

Secretory and viral fusion may share mechanistic events with fusion between curved lipid bilayers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Activation energies for the individual steps of secretory and viral fusion are reported to be large [Oberhauser, A. F., Monck, J. R. & Fernandez, J. M. (1992) Biophys. J. 61, 800–809; Clague, M. J., Schoch, C., Zech, L. & Blumenthal, R.

Fusion of lipid bilayers induced by synthetic lipids and peptides
, 2009 The fusion-inducing properties of three different synthetic lipid derivatives were investigated in model membranes. The results are discussed in terms of membrane destabilization caused by the formation of non-bilayer lipid structures following charge neutralization of the fusogenic components. First, studies on the fusion of large unilamellar vesicles

Effect of Dengue Fusion Peptide in Anionic Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Studies involving peptide-induced membrane fusion are extremely important to better understanding the mechanisms underlying virus entry in cells. Particularly, membrane fusion peptides are part of Dengue virus system serving as a gateway to the virus access into the cell. Here we study the interaction of the Dengue Flavivirus fusion peptide (FLAg) with

SNARE proteins mediate lipid bilayer fusion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Lipid bilayers compartmentalize eukaryotic cells into distinct organelles. This compartmentalization allows for specialization of diverse cellular processes, from DNA polymerization to zymogen proteolysis. While the specific complement of proteins present in each organelle defines its function, there is a dynamic flux between these organelles.
