This study uses in vitro evolution to show that stringent selection pressures rapidly converge on Omicron-like mutations in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, mirroring real-world viral evolution patterns.

This study uses fluorescence, cryo-EM, and simulations to show how R9 peptides interact with membranes, causing structural changes like budding and stacking, and proposes a unified mechanism for their penetration.

This study investigates how arginine-rich peptides like R9 induce membrane curvature through molecular simulations and multiscale modeling, revealing their role in cell penetration mechanisms.
