Prediction of avian influenza A binding preference to human receptor using conformational analysis of receptor bound to hemagglutinin
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It is known that the highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus H5N1 binds strongly and with high specificity to the avian-type receptor by its hemagglutinin surface protein. This specificity is normally a barrier to viral transmissio...
