Stability of the Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin Protein Correlates with Evolutionary Dynamics

ABSTRACT Protein thermodynamics are an integral determinant of viral fitness and one of the major drivers of protein evolution. Mutations in the influenza A virus (IAV) hemagglutinin (HA) protein can eliminate neutralizing antibody binding to mediate escape from preexisting antiviral immunity. Prior...
