HSV-1 entry into cells via envelope proteins

Although the types and composition of envelope proteins may vary among different viruses in the sporozoan virus family, the fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane and the entry of the nucleocapsid rely on the binding of multiple envelope proteins to receptors on the host cell membrane and conformational changes.
