Effect of membrane additives on vesicle fusion.
A large variety of alkyl derivatives were found to either slow or block the low-temperature induced fusion of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine small unilamellar vesicles (DPPC SUV) when incorporated into the SUV bilayer at five mol%. Only corn oil was fusogenic.
