Fusion pathways of vesicles: A Brownian dynamics simulation

Noguchi, Hiroshi, Takasu, Masako·2001·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

We studied the fusion dynamics of vesicles using a Brownian dynamics simulation. Amphiphilic molecules spontaneously form vesicles with a bilayer structure. Two vesicles come into contact and form a stalk intermediate, in which a necklike structure only connects the outer monolayers, as predicted by the stalk hypothesis. We have found a new pathway of pore opening from stalks at high temperature: the elliptic stalk bends and contact between the ends of the arc-shaped stalk leads to pore opening. On the other hand, we have clarified that the pore-opening process at low temperature agrees with the modified stalk model: a pore is induced by contact between the inner monolayers inside the stalk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
