Structural Analysis of the Mechanism of Adenovirus Binding to Its Human Cellular Receptor, CAR
19 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Binding of virus particles to specific host cell surface receptors is known to be an obligatory step in infection even though the molecular basis for these interactions is not well characterized. The crystal structure of the adenovirus fiber knob domain in complex with domain I of its human cellular receptor, coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR), is presented here. Surface-exposed loops on knob contact one...
