Mumps virus is one of the main cause of respiratory illnesses in humans, especially children. Among the viral surface glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin - neuraminidase, MuV-HN, plays key roles in virus entry into host cells and infectivity, thus representing an ideal target for the design of novel inhibitors. Here we report the detailed analysis of the molecular recognition of host cell surface sialylated glycans by the viral glycoprotein MuV-HN. By a combined use of NMR, docking, molecular model ...[more]
