Membrane Fusion Involved in Neurotransmission: Glimpse from Electron Microscope and Molecular Simulation
Membrane fusion is one of the most fundamental physiological processes in eukaryotes for triggering the fusion of lipid and content, as well as the neurotransmission. However, the architecture features of neurotransmitter release machinery and interdependent mechanism of synaptic membrane fusion hav...
