Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1989
One of the most intriguing properties of cellular membranes is their ability to fuse with one another. Within a living cell numerous membrane fusion and fission events occur, mediating the flow of cellular constituents between different cell organelles. How do two adhering membranes achieve this complex merging operation within the restriction posed by

Biochemistry (Moscow) Supplement Series A: Membrane and Cell Biology, 2012
The process of membrane fusion in the case of lipid bilayers, as well as induced by influenza virus is reviewed shortly. The methods of studying fusion kinetics in pure lipid and lipid-protein systems are described. The main theories of molecular fusion machines are presented. Open questions and unsolved problems are discussed in details. In conclusion,

SNARE-mediated membrane fusion
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2001SNARE proteins have been proposed to mediate all intracellular membrane fusion events. There are over 30 SNARE family members in mammalian cells and each is found in a distinct subcellular compartment. It is likely that SNAREs encode aspects of membrane transport specificity but the mechanism by which this specificity is achieved remains controversial.

Membrane Fusion and Exocytosis
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1999▪ Abstract  Membrane fusion involves the merger of two phospholipid bilayers in an aqueous environment. In artificial lipid bilayers, fusion proceeds by means of defined transition states, including hourglass-shaped intermediates in which the proximal leaflets of the fusing membranes are merged whereas the distal leaflets are separate (fusion stalk ...

Membrane Fusion: Anchors aweigh
Current Biology, 1994A recent study using a version of the influenza virus hemagglutinin protein in which its membrane anchor was replaced by a lipid tail provides new insights into how proteins can mediate the fusion of membranes.

Membrane fusion is vital for the functioning of many cells. However, membranes show virtually no tendency to fuse randomly. Highly specific factors, most likely membrane-bound as well as soluble (glyco) proteins, must be involved in triggering and modulating membrane fusion processes. Studies on model membrane vesicles suggest that the key event in the
