Conservation of the putative receptor attachment site in picornaviruses

M G Rossmann et al. Virology. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

A deep canyon or pit on the surfaces of human rhinovirus 14 and Mengo virus, respectively, has been proposed as a putative receptor binding site. Amino acids lining the surface of the canyon or pit have been identified and show greater conservation than other surface residues.
