Enhanced cholesterol-dependent hemifusion by internal fusion peptide 1 of SARS Coronavirus-2 compared to its N-terminal counterpart

Membrane fusion is an important step for the entry of the lipid-sheathed viruses into the host cells. The fusion process is being carried out by fusion proteins present in the viral envelope. The class I viruses contains a 20-25 amino acid sequence at its N-terminal of the fusion domain, which is i...
