Abstract excerpt
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) encodes a small hydrophobic (SH) protein, whose function in the life cycle of the virus is unknown. Recent channel activity measurements of the protein suggest that like other viroporins, SH may assemble into a homo-oligomeric ion channel. To further our understanding of this potentially important protein, a new strategy was implemented in order to model the transmembrane...
