Abstract excerpt
Emergence of new viral agents is driven by evolution of interactions between viral proteins and host targets. For instance, increased infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 compared to SARS-CoV-1 arose in part through rapid evolution along the interface between the spike protein and its human receptor ACE2, leading to increased binding affinity. To facilitate broader exploration of how pathogen-host interactions might impact...
