Analysis of Hendra Virus Fusion Protein N-Terminal Transmembrane Residues
Hendra virus (HeV) is a zoonotic enveloped member of the family Paramyoxviridae.To successfully infect a host cell, HeV utilizes two surface glycoproteins: the attachment (G) protein to bind, and the trimeric fusion (F) protein to merge the viral envelope with the membrane of the host cell.The transmembrane (TM) region of HeV F has been shown to ha
