Planar aggregation of the influenza viral fusion peptide alters membrane structure and hydration, promoting poration

Target membrane poration is a longstanding enigma in virology. Here, authors show that fusion peptides of the influenza virus’ spike protein aggregate, rotate, and tilt in membranes, facilitating peptide-induced poration during viral fusion.
