Peptides with a propensity for membrane binding can also interfere with enveloped virus entry by direct physical interaction with the hydrophobic surfaces present on cell membranes and/or fusion proteins. Since not all membranotropic peptides are able to cross the membrane bilayer, it is essential to identify structural characteristics of hydrophobic peptides know to enter the cell membrane to highlight any feature that is involved in the penetration which may help in the design of novel delivery tools.
