Biomimetic Curvature and Tension-Driven Membrane Fusion Induced by Silica Nanoparticles

Abstract: Membrane fusion is a key process to develop new technologies in synthetic biology, where artificial cells function as biomimetic chemical microreactors. Fusion events in living cells are intricate phenomena that require the coordinate action of multicomponent protein complexes. However, simpler synthetic tools to control membrane fusion in artificial cells are highly desirable. Native membrane fusion machinery mediates fusion driving a delicate balance of membrane curvature and tension between two closely appo… Show more
