Pathway for insertion of amphiphilic nanoparticles into defect-free lipid bilayers from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
, 2015 Gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been increasingly used in biological applications that involve potential contact with cellular membranes. As a result, it is essential to gain a physical understanding of NP-membrane interactions to guide the design of next ...

Secretory and viral fusion may share mechanistic events with fusion between curved lipid bilayers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 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.

Functions of SNAREs in intracellular membrane fusion and lipid bilayer mixing [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2005 Intracellular membrane fusion occurs with exquisite coordination and specificity. Each fusion event requires three basic components: Rab-GTPases organize the fusion site; SNARE proteins act during fusion; and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) plus its cofactor α-SNAP are required for recycling or activation of the fusion machinery.

Sensing-Applications of Surface-Based Single Vesicle Arrays
Sensors, 2010 A single lipid vesicle can be regarded as an autonomous ultra-miniaturised 3D biomimetic “scaffold” (Ø ≥ 13 nm) ideally suited for reconstitution and interrogation of biochemical processes. The enclosing lipid bilayer membrane of a vesicle can be applied

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.

Membranes, 2022 Membrane proteins are broadly classified as transmembrane (TM) or peripheral, with functions that pertain to only a single bilayer at a given time. Here, we explicate a class of proteins that contain both transmembrane and peripheral domains, which we ...
