P.1134 left column top paragraph:"Biological membranes are complex matrices mainly composed of lipids and proteins that separate the contents of cells or specialized compartments from the external surroundings. GUVs (diameter ∼5–100 μm) have proved to be useful model systems and have been widely used to study lipid dynamics (Korlach et al., 1999), lipid domain (raft) formation (Bagatolli and Gratton, 2000 Kahya et al., 2003), elastic properties of membranes (Angelova et al., 1992 Akashi et al., 1996), lipid-DNA interactions (Angelova and Tsoneva, 1999), vesicle shape changes (Tanaka et al., 2002), membrane tube formation (Roux et al., 2002), and membrane fusion (Tanaka and Yamazaki, 2004)." |
