Lipid-enveloped viruses, including HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, infect their host cells by fusion
either directly with the plasma membrane or with the endosome membrane following …

Membrane fusion is the primary step in the entry of enveloped viruses into the host cell.
Membrane composition modulates the membrane fusion by changing the organization …

An essential step in the entrance of enveloped viruses such as coronaviruses, the human
immunodeficiency virus, and influenza is membrane fusion. A unique class of glycoprotein …

The fusion between the viral and the target cell membrane is a crucial step in the life cycle of
enveloped viruses. The blocking of this process is a well-known therapeutic approach that …

T-1249 is a HIV fusion inhibitor peptide under clinical trials. Its interaction with biological
membrane models (large unilamellar vesicles) was studied using fluorescence …

Fusion of lipid-enveloped viruses with the cellular plasma membrane or the endosome
membrane is mediated by viral envelope proteins that undergo large conformational …

This review describes the numerous and innovative methods used to study the structure and
function of viral fusion peptides. The systems studied include both intact fusion proteins and …

Viruses need to deliver their genomic information into the host cell lumen to establish
productive infection. Enveloped viruses accomplish this task by fusing their membrane with …

The structure and function of viral fusion peptides are reviewed. The fusion peptides of
influenza virus hemagglutinin and human immunodeficiency virus are used as paradigms …

The core complex is a structure involved in the fusion mechanism of many viruses, as well
as in intracellular vesicle fusion. A powerful approach for studying the dynamic stages of HIV …
