Fusion-Triggered Switching of Enzymatic Activity on an Artificial Cell Membrane

A nanosensory membrane device was constructed for detecting liposome fusion through changes in an enzymatic activity. Inspired by a biological signal transduction system, the device design involved functionalized liposomal membranes prepared by self-assembly of the following molecular components: a...
