Control of membrane fusion mechanism by lipid composition: predictions from ensemble molecular dynamics.

Membrane fusion is critical to biological processes such as viral infection, endocrine hormone secretion, and neurotransmission, yet the precise mechanistic details of the fusion process remain unknown. Current experimental and computational model systems approximate the complex physiological membra...
