We review the current state of membrane protein structure determination using solid-state
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Multidimensional magic-angle-spinning …

Lipid rafts in plasma membranes have emerged as possible platforms for the entry of HIV
and other viruses into cells. However, little is known about how lipid phase heterogeneity …

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp41 fusion domain plays a critical role in
membrane fusion during viral entry. A thorough understanding of the relationship between …

The HIV gp160 envelope fusion protein is situated in the viral membrane and mediates virus
entry into its host cell. Increasing evidence suggests that virtually all parts of the HIV …

Fusion between the membrane of HIV and the membrane of a host cell is a crucial step in
HIV infection and is catalyzed by the binding of the fusion peptide domain (HFP) of the HIV …

This work investigates the interaction of N-terminal gp41 fusion peptide (FP) of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with model membranes in order to elucidate how FP …

N-terminal residues (770–788) of the S2 glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus (SARS-CoV) have been recognized as a potential fusion peptide that can be …

HIV, like other membrane-enveloped viruses, has protein spikes that include a fusion
peptide (Fp) segment that binds the host cell membrane and plays a critical role in fusion …

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein
forms a pentameric ion channel in the lipid membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi …

Under mating conditions, yeast cells adopt a characteristic pear-shaped morphology, called
a “shmoo,” as they project a cell extension toward their mating partners. Mating partners …
