HIV gp41 Fusion Peptide Increases Membrane Ordering in a Cholesterol-Dependent Fashion

Fusion between viral envelopes and host cell membranes, which is mediated by special glycoproteins anchored on the viral membrane, is required for HIV viral entry and infection. The HIV gp41 fusion peptide (FP), which initiates membrane fusion, adopts either an α-helical or β-sheeted structure depen...
