We have attempted to examine the possible role of non-bilayer structures, such as the inverted hexagonal phase (Hn), in vesicle fusion by using pressure as a probe. The role of non-bilayer phases in biological functions has elicited much interest. The present evidence depends mainly on electron micr

The effect of atrazine on Ca2+ induced fusion of cardiolipin(CL) and phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles is studied by Tb3+/dipicolinic acid fluorescence and turbidity measurements. The interaction of herbicide with CL and PS membranes is studied by DPH fluorescence polarization. At low concentrations
## Abstract Sendai virus fuses efficiently with small and large unilamellar vesicles of the lipid 1,2 βdiβ__n__ βhexadecyloxypropylβ 4 β(betaβnitrostyryl) phosphate (DHPBNS) at pH 7.4 and 37Β°C, as shown by lipid mixing assays and electron microscopy. However, fusion is strongly inhibited by oligome
