Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark) - 1 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt
Multiple cell biological processes involve two opposite rearrangements of membrane configuration, referred to as fusion and fission. While membrane intermediates in protein-mediated fusion have been studied in some detail, the global force which drives sequential stages of the fusion reaction from early local intermediates to an expanding fusion pore remains unknown. Fusion proceeds via stages, which are...
