Engineered dityrosine-bonding of the RSV prefusion F protein imparts stability and potency advantages
Abstract Viral fusion proteins facilitate cellular infection by fusing viral and cellular membranes, which involves dramatic transitions from their pre- to postfusion conformations. These proteins are among the most protective viral immunogens, but they are metastable which often makes them intracta...
