“To form the ion conductive pore, viroporins self-assemble and oligomerize, which is a key feature of this family of proteins.”

I’m reading more summaries of medical literature[1] these days. I formerly would almost never read this type of document. I should probably assemble a set of trusted USGovt and WHO sources, like I have a set of NOAA and non-government sources for weather information.
