Emerging Roles of Viroporins Encoded by DNA Viruses: Novel Targets for Antivirals?
16 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Studies have highlighted the essential nature of a group of small, highly hydrophobic, membrane embedded, channel-forming proteins in the life cycles of a growing number of RNA viruses. These viroporins mediate the flow of ions and a range of solutes across cellular membranes and are necessary for manipulating a myriad of host processes. As such they contribute to all stages of the virus life cycle. Recent...
