Structural studies of poliovirus mutants that overcome receptor defects.

Abstract excerpt

In order to better understand the process of cell entry for non-enveloped viruses, we have solved the crystal structures of five poliovirus mutants which can infect cells expressing mutant poliovirus receptors. Four of these structures have been solved from frozen crystals using cryocrystallographic data collection methods. The mutations have a range of structural consequences, from small local perturbations to...
