Peptide-Based Inhibitors of the HIV Envelope Protein and Other Class I Viral Fusion Proteins

Abstract excerpt

Viruses need to deliver their genomic information into the host cell lumen to establish productive infection. Enveloped viruses accomplish this task by fusing their membrane with a host cell membrane. Membrane fusion is facilitated by specialized viral membrane proteins, which mediate binding and entry into host cells. The architecture of the fusion machinery of envelope proteins can differ between viruses, and...
