Virus entry mediated by hepatitis B virus envelope proteins
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a major cause of human liver disease worldwide, encodes three envelope proteins needed for the attachment and entry of the virus into susceptible host cells. A second virus, hepatitis delta virus, which is known to enhance liver disease in HBV infected patients, diverts the same HBV envelope proteins to achieve its own assembly

Low pH deforms the influenza virus envelope
Influenza virus membrane fusion is induced by low pH, which triggers an irreversible conformational change in the viral haemagglutinin (HA). The result of this change is the extrusion of the HA fusion peptide, after which it may act in the fusion of virus and endosomal membranes.

Role of Lipids on Entry and Exit of Bluetongue Virus, a Complex Non-Enveloped Virus
Non-enveloped viruses such as members of Picornaviridae and Reoviridae are assembled in the cytoplasm and are generally released by cell lysis. However, recent evidence suggests that some non-enveloped viruses exit from infected cells without lysis ...

Purification and electron cryomicroscopy of coronavirus particles. [PDF]
Intact, enveloped coronavirus particles vary widely in size and contour, and are thus refractory to study by traditional structural means such as X-ray crystallography. Electron microscopy (EM) overcomes some problems associated with particle variability
