Role of membrane stretch in adsorption of antiviral peptides onto lipid membranes and membrane pore formation

Role of membrane stretch in adsorption of antiviral peptides onto lipid membranes and membrane pore formation

Many medically important viruses are enveloped viruses, which are surrounded by a structurally conserved, host-derived lipid membrane coating. Agents that target and disrupt this membrane coating could potentially function as broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. The amphipathic α-helical (AH) peptide der...
