Activation Thermodynamics of Poly(Ethylene Glycol)-Mediated Model Membrane Fusion Support Mechanistic Models of Stalk and Pore Formation

Membrane fusion, essential to eukaryotic life, is broadly envisioned as a three-step process proceeding from contacting bilayers through two semistable, nonlamellar lipidic intermediate states to a fusion pore. Here, we introduced a new, to our knowledge, experimental approach to gain insight into t...
