SNARE assembly and membrane fusion, a kinetic analysis.

Abstract excerpt

SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) assembly may promote intracellular membrane fusion, an essential process for vesicular transport in cells. Core complex formation between vesicle-associated SNARE and target membrane SNARE perhaps drives the merging of two membranes into a single bilayer. Using spin-labeling EPR, trans-SNARE complex formation was monitored "locally" at...
