Abstract excerpt

Fusion peptides are hydrophobic sequences located at the N terminus of the transmembrane (TM) envelope proteins of the orthomyxoviruses and paramyxoviruses and several retroviruses. The Moloney murine leukemia virus TM envelope protein, p15E, contains a hydrophobic stretch of amino acids at its N...
