Membrane Vesicle Interaction

Prof. Dr. Andreas Janshoff, Dept. of Physical Chemistry. University of Göttingen, Germany

 "Membrane interaction and fusion plays a fundamental role in many cellular processes such as intracellular trafficking, fertilization, tissue formation or viral infection. With the new MST technology we were able to measure the interaction of membrane vesicles, mediated by coiled coil-forming peptides. The technology requires only little sample material and is enabling for this type of experiments"
