Real-time observation of native conformations and molecular behaviors of viral fusion proteins using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM)
Description: HS-AFM is an ideal tool for investigating properties of viral fusion proteins that include native conformation, binding activity with host factors, and structural dynamic during fusogenic transition. Furthermore, interaction between fusion proteins and exosomes will be also be recorded.
