Abstract: | Fusion and changes in permeability of artificial phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) caused by the influence of α-latrotoxin-like
protein (L protein) from the gray matter of the bovine brain were studied using a hydrophobic fluorescent probe, R18. It was
shown that L protein stimulates fusion of negatively charged liposomes. This effect becomes stronger in acidified media. The
influence of L protein on the permeability of phosphatidylcholine liposome membrane is also a pH-dependent process. |
