Abstract excerpt
A synthetic heptad repeat, SV-473, derived from Sendai virus fusion protein is a potent inhibitor of virus-cell fusion. In order to understand the mechanism of the inhibitory effect, we synthesized and fluorescently labeled SV-465, an extended version of SV-473 by one more heptad, its mutant pept...
