Biophysical characterization and membrane interaction of the two fusion loops of glycoprotein B from herpes simplex type I virus.

The molecular mechanism of entry of herpesviruses requires a multicomponent fusion system. Cell invasion by Herpes simplex virus (HSV) requires four virally encoded glycoproteins: namely gD, gB and gH/gL. The role of gB has remained elusive until recently when the crystal structure of HSV-1 gB becam...
