Systematic computer-aided disulfide design as a general strategy to stabilize prefusion class I fusion proteins
Numerous enveloped viruses, such as coronaviruses, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), utilize class I fusion proteins for cell entry.During this process, the proteins transition from a prefusion to a postfusion state, undergoing substantial and irreversible conformational changes.The prefusion conformation has repeatedly sapatilha in
