  2. Cell fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_fusion

    A heterokaryon is the melding of two or more cells into one and it may reproduce itself for several generations. [4] If two of the same type of cells fuse but their nuclei do not fuse, then the resulting cell is called a syncytium. [5] Heterotypic cell fusion occurs between cells of different types.

  3. Lipid bilayer fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_bilayer_fusion

    If the two vesicles, both ~100 nm in diameter, dock and a large enough fusion pore forms between them, the two DNA molecules should hybridize, opening up the stem region of the hairpin and switching the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency (E) between Cy3 and Cy5 from a high to a low value.

  4. Mitochondrial fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_fusion

    OPA1 exists in two forms; the first being soluble and found in the intermembrane space, and the second as an integral inner membrane form, work together to restructure and shape the cristae during and after apoptosis. OPA1 blocks intramitochondrial cytochrome c redistribution which proceeds remodeling of the cristae.

  5. Nuclear fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

    Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei (for example, nuclei of hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium), combine to form one or more atomic nuclei and neutrons. The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or absorption of energy .

  6. Muon-catalyzed fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion

    The reaction is "When hydrogen one and hydrogen two are in the presence of Mu mesons, they fuse into helium three, with an energy yield in electron volts of 5.4 times ten to the fifth power". Unlike the thermonuclear bomb contained in the Pod (which is used to destroy the Barrier) they can become temporarily disabled by "concentrated disbelief ...

  7. Proton–proton chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton–proton_chain

    In p–p I, helium-4 is produced by fusing two helium-3 nuclei; the p–p II and p–p III branches fuse 3 He with pre-existing 4 He to form beryllium-7, which undergoes further reactions to produce two helium-4 nuclei. About 99% of the energy output of the sun comes from the various p–p chains, with the other 1% coming from the CNO cycle.

  8. Nuclear reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reaction

    In principle, a reaction can involve more than two particles colliding, but because the probability of three or more nuclei to meet at the same time at the same place is much less than for two nuclei, such an event is exceptionally rare (see triple alpha process for an example very close to a three-body nuclear reaction).

  9. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [1] [2] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds. Examples include a molecule with a carbon–carbon double bond (an alkene) or a triple bond (an alkyne).
