Abstract excerpt
Envelope proteins drive virus and host-cell membrane fusion to achieve virus entry. Fusogenic proteins are classified into structural classes that function with remarkable mechanistic similarities. Membrane fusion implies coordinated movements of protein domains through a series of sequential steps. Structures for the initial and final conformations are available for several fusogens, but folding intermediates...
