Glycan-induced structural activation softens the human papillomavirus capsid for entry through reduction of intercapsomere flexibility Nature Communications - The study shows that HPV activation requires a minimum glycan length, which enlarges and softens the virus. Using virological assays, AFM, and HDX-MS, the authors propose a...
