Abstract
This method of measuring membrane fusions between liposomes made of phospholipid is characterized by the combination of ionophores, fluorescent dyes sensitive to the membrane potential (interior negative) and porins which are the pore-forming membrane proteins. By this method, the extent of liposome fusion can be determined easily and accurately.
