New mechanism of membrane fusion
, 2001 We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the fusion of bilayers of single chain amphiphiles which show phase behavior similar to that of biological lipids. The fusion mechanism we observe is very different from the ``stalk'' hypothesis.

Influenza virus morphogenesis and budding. [PDF]
, 2009 Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Each virion consists of three major sub-viral components, namely (i) a viral envelope decorated with three transmembrane proteins ...

Coiled-Coil Formation on Lipid Bilayers—Implications for Docking and Fusion Efficiency [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 Coiled-coil formation of four different oligopeptides was characterized in solution, on hydrogels, and on membranes by employing circular dichroism spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and ellipsometry.

Coassembly of Mgm1 isoforms requires cardiolipin and mediates mitochondrial inner membrane fusion [PDF]
, 2009 Two dynamin-related protein (DRP) families are essential for fusion of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, Fzo1 (yeast)/Mfn1/Mfn2 (mammals) and Mgm1 (yeast)/Opa1 (mammals), respectively.

Rapid fabrication of polymer microfluidic systems for the production of artificial lipid bilayers
, 2005 A polymer microfluidic device has been fabricated using rapid prototyping techniques. The device was built up to allow the formation and subsequent investigation of artificial bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs).

?2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibril-Induced Membrane Disruption Is Enhanced by Endosomal Lipids and Acidic pH [PDF]
, 2014 Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of ?2-microglobulin (?2m)

Formation of supported lipid bilayers of charged E. coli lipids on modified gold by vesicle fusion
MethodsX, 2017 We describe a simple way of fusing E. coli lipid vesicles onto a gold surface. Supported lipid bilayers on metal surfaces are interesting for several reasons: transducing a biological signal to an electric readout, using surface analytical tools such as ...

Dual action of BPC194: a membrane active peptide killing bacterial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Membrane active peptides can perturb the lipid bilayer in several ways, such as poration and fusion of the target cell membrane, and thereby efficiently kill bacterial cells.
