Tight docking of membranes before fusion represents a metastable state with unique properties

Membrane fusion is fundamental to biological processes as diverse as membrane trafficking or viral infection. Proteins catalyzing membrane fusion need to overcome energy barriers to induce intermediate steps in which the integrity of bilayers is lost. Here, we investigate the structural features of...
