Receptor Recognition Mechanisms of Coronaviruses: a Decade of Structural Studies
27 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Receptor recognition by viruses is the first and essential step of viral infections of host cells. It is an important determinant of viral host range and cross-species infection and a primary target for antiviral intervention. Coronaviruses recognize a variety of host receptors, infect many hosts, and are health threats to humans and animals. The receptor-binding S1 subunit of coronavirus spike proteins contains...
