A Dynamic, Supramolecular View on the Multivalent Interaction between Influenza Virus and Host Cell
7 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Understanding how influenza viruses traverse the mucus and recognize host cells is critical for evaluating their zoonotic potential, and for prevention and treatment of the disease. The surface of the influenza A virus is covered with the receptor-binding protein hemagglutinin and the receptor-cleaving enzyme neuraminidase, which jointly control the interactions between the virus and the host cell. These proteins...
