P.2927 right column bottom paragraph to p.2928 left column: "Chizmadzhev et al. (1999) have calculated the velocity v of lipid transfer between fusing membranes at different tensions to be v = C(Δσ/η), where Δσ is the tension difference, η is the surface viscosity of the membrane, and C is a factor depending on the pore geometry. Making reasonable assumptions about the pore geometry and viscosity of these membranes, η = ∼10^−5−10^−6 g/s (primary sources), [investigators] find that the measured tension difference (∼0.01 dyn/cm) is sufficient to produce the observed lipid flow velocities." |
