A Frame-by-Frame Glance at Membrane Fusion Mechanisms: From Viral Infections to Fertilization

Viral entry and fertilization are distinct biological processes that share a common mechanism: membrane fusion. In viral entry, enveloped viruses attach to the host cell membrane, triggering a series of conformational changes in the viral fusion proteins. This results in the exposure of a hydrophobi...
