, p. 14430 - 14431 (2006)
We report herein the induction of selective vesicle fusion with biological recognition motifs not natively associated with lipid bilayer fusion, thus broadening the scope of recognition-guided membrane activation. Our system employs vancomycin glycopeptid
Functional determinants of a synthetic vesicle fusion system
Gong, Yun,Ma, Mingming,Luo, Yumei,Bong, Dennis
, p. 6196 - 6205 (2008/12/20)
Selective membrane mergers may be driven by small-molecule recognition between synthetic surface-displayed fusogens which bear vancomycin glycopeptide and its native binding target, D-Ala-D-Ala dipeptide. These recognition motifs are membrane anchored by
