Coordination among proteins, lipids and water in membrane fusion and fission probed by solid-state NMR
For enveloped viruses such as HIV, influenza, and coronaviruses to enter host cells, the viral and cell envelopes must be fused together. Then, to exit the cell, a new virus particle will pinch off a piece of the host cell membrane. The two membranes must be physically separated to release the virus...
