A conserved glutathione binding site in poliovirus is a target for antivirals and vaccine stabilisation

Cryo-EM structures reveal the role of glutathione (GSH) in poliovirus (PV) serotype 3 virus-like particle (VLP) stability, suggesting GSH or an analogous tight-binding antiviral offers potential for stabilizing VLP vaccines against PV.
