Gnarled-Trunk Evolutionary Model of Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin
10 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human influenza A viruses undergo antigenic changes with gradual accumulation of amino acid substitutions on the hemagglutinin (HA) molecule. A strong antigenic mismatch between vaccine and epidemic strains often requires the replacement of influenza vaccines worldwide. To establish a practical model enabling us to predict the future direction of the influenza virus evolution, relative distances of amino acid...
