A peplomer is a glycoprotein spike on a viral capsid or viral envelope.〔 as cited in 〕 These protrusions will only bind to certain receptors on the host cell: they are essential for both host specificity and viral infectivity. The term 'peplomer' is typically used to refer to a grouping of heterologous proteins on the virus surface that function together. The tail fibers of some bacteriophages, especially the T4-like phages, are modified peplomers. Influenza virus has 2 kinds of peplomers 1 triangular spike shaped 2 "haemagglutinin" and mushroom shaped "neuraminidase" ==See also== *Virus *Glycoprotein *Receptor (biochemistry) *T4 phage *Viral entry *Viral life cycle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peplomer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
