Abstract excerpt
The fusion (F) protein of the paramyxovirus SV5 promotes both virus-cell and cell-cell fusion. Recently, the atomic structure at 1.4 A of an extremely thermostable six-helix bundle core complex consisting of two heptad repeat regions of the F protein has been described (K. A. Baker, R. E. Dutch, R. A. Lamb, and T. S Jardetsky, Mol. Cell 3, 309-319, 1999). To analyze the conformations of the F protein at various...
