33. Because the extent of fusion of unpolymerized vesicles is ca. 65% rather than 100% and because after polymerization it is ca. 7% rather than 0% (Figure 1), we note that the value for complete vesicle fusion is 0.25 0.10 kJ/mol of DDPBNS rather than the reported value of 0.15 0.10 kJ/mol of DDPBNS.
