Structural Determinants for Naturally Evolving H5N1 Hemagglutinin to Switch Its Receptor Specificity

Of the factors governing human-to-human transmission of the highly pathogenic avian-adapted H5N1 virus, the most critical is the acquisition of mutations on the viral hemagglutinin (HA) to "quantitatively switch" its binding from avian to human glycan receptors. Here, we describe a structu...
