Adapting the EMPIRIC Approach to Investigate Evolutionary Constraints in Influenza A Virus Surface Proteins
Controlling influenza A virus (IAV) infections remains a challenge largely due to the high replication and mutation rates of the virus. IAV is a negative-sense RNA virus with two main surface proteins — hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). HA recognizes and binds sialic acid on host cell recep...
