Abstract
This chapter is devoted to reviewing some characteristics of membrane permeabilization by viral proteins. In addition, the methodology used to assay enhanced permeability in animal cells is described. Finally, the design of selective viral inhibitors based on the modification of cellular membranes during virus entry or at late times of infection is also discussed.
