Clustering of SARS-CoV-2 membrane proteins in lipid bilayer membranes

Joseph McTiernan, Yuanzhong Zhang, Siyu Li…·Ajay Gopinathan

This study shows that M protein interactions alone can drive clustering in ERGIC-like lipid bilayers, with direct interactions being stronger than membrane-mediated ones.
