Specific refolding pathway of viscumin A chain in membrane-like medium reveals a possible mechanism of toxin entry into cell

How is a water-soluble globular protein able to spontaneously cross a cellular membrane? It is commonly accepted that it undergoes significant structural rearrangements on the lipid-water interface, thus acquiring membrane binding and penetration ability. In this study molecular dynamics (MD) simula...
