Characterising alphacoronavirus phenotypic traits through diversity-driven selection of spike
2024-11-22
Abstract excerpt
The capacity for viruses to spillover from one host to another is dependent on their ability to bind to and enter cells from a new host. Using a computational approach that maximises phylogenetic diversity, we selected an optimal subset of 40 alphacoronavirus spike proteins, including the two human viruses NL63 and 229E, and characterised their host-range using broad mammalian APN and ACE2 receptor libraries. Base...
