Characterizing receptor flexibility to predict mutations that lead to human adaptation of influenza hemagglutinin

2020-07-15

Abstract excerpt

A key step in the emergence of human pandemic influenza strains has been a switch in the binding preference of the viral glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) from avian to human sialic acid receptors (SAs). The conformation of the bound SA varies substantially with HA sequence, and crystallographic evidence suggests that the bound SA is flexible, so it is difficult to predict from crystal structures which mutations are...
