Representative QCM-D plots. Energy dissipation (dashed) and third overtone frequency (solid) plotted versus time. A) SLB formation of 100% POPC by spontaneous vesicle fusion. * indicates the moment of critical concentration of vesicle surface coverage. B) Failure of model HIV-1 vesicles to undergo spontaneous vesicle fusion. C) Successful model HIV-1 SLB formation by AH peptide-induced vesicle fusion. AH peptide is used as a destabilizing agent to induce fusion of model HIV-1 vesicles. D) AH peptides create a SLB from a partially formed bilayer amongst un-fused vesicles.
