Abstract excerpt
By combining hydrogen-deuterium exchange monitored by mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) with the ability of enveloped virus-like particles (eVLPs) to display full-length native-like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein, we have determined the energetic and conformational effects of both the membrane environment and unique sequence features that are considered incompatible with soluble protein...
