Presence of receptors for the amino-terminal segments in target membranes has been suggested from studies on inhibition of virus replication by small peptides with amino acid sequences similar to that of the viral amino terminus (Richardson et al., 1980; Richardson and Choppin, 1983) . Why is a specific amino acid sequence of F glycoprotein required for the membrane fusion reaction between envelope of HVJ (Sendai virus) and target cell membranes? pH-Dependent membrane fusion activity of a synthetic twenty amino acid peptide with the same sequence as that of the hydrophobic segment in influenza virus hemagglutinin ./cache/cord-020712-l9cn0n99.txt ./txt/cord-020712-l9cn0n99.txt
