Lasting less than a millisecond.
- On the submillisecond time scale, long-lived hemifusion intermediates dominate; this population decays over a time scale of several microseconds (t_(1/2) = 6.3 μs) to yield fully fused vesicles.2006 August 8, Peter M Kasson et al., “Ensemble molecular dynamics yields submillisecond kinetics and intermediates of membrane fusion”, in PNAS, volume 103, number 32, →DOI, archived from the original on 06 Mar 2025:
