Abstract excerpt
Viral proteins frequently undergo single or multiple amino acid mutations during replication, which can significantly alter their functionality. The Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 is multifunctional but primarily responsible for creating the viral envelope by binding to the inner leaflet of the host cell plasma membrane (PM). Changes to the VP40 surface cationic charge via mutations can influence PM...
