Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been widely employed to assess diverse features
of glycan–protein molecular recognition events. Different types of qualitative and quantitative …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

The recent emergence of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants illustrates the urgent
need to better understand the molecular details of the virus binding to its host cell and to …

Conformational dynamics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) spike glycoprotein (S) mediate exposure of the binding site for the cellular receptor …

Consistent with well-established biochemical properties of coronaviruses, sialylated glycan
attachments between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP) and host cells are key to the virus's …

The molecular mechanisms controlling the adaptation of viruses to host cells are generally
poorly documented. An essential issue to resolve is whether host membranes, and …

It is not well understood why severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 spreads
much faster than other β-coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory …
