A Glycoprotein Mutation That Emerged during the 2013–2016 Ebola Virus Epidemic Alters Proteolysis and Accelerates Membrane Fusion

The 2013–2016 outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa demonstrated the potential for previously localized outbreaks to turn into regional, or even global, health emergencies. With over 28,000 cases and 11,000 confirmed deaths, this outbreak was over 50 times as large as any previously recorde...
