SNAREs are essential for intracellular membrane fusion. Using EPR, we determined the structure of the transmembrane domain (TMD) of the vesicle (v)-SNARE Snc2p involved in trafficking in yeast.

We dissected membrane docking, lipid flow and fusion pore opening in a SNARE-dependent fusion reaction using the cell-free fusion of yeast vacuoles as a model 10. To monitor lipid transition between ...

Researchers have developed a novel device to image the minute forces and actions involved in cell membrane hemifusion. To capture real time data on the behavior of cell membranes during hemifusion, ...

HOUSTON, May 16, 2005 – Every living cell is surrounded by a membrane, a thin barrier that separates the genetic machinery of life from the non-living world outside. Though barriers, membranes are not ...

Every cell is surrounded by a protective membrane. Though barriers, cells must pass proteins and other chemicals through their membranes, and they do this via fusion, a process that opens small holes ...
