Monomeric ephrinB2 binding induces allosteric changes in Nipah virus G that precede its full activation

Nipah virus causes encephalitis in humans. Here the authors use a multidisciplinary approach to study the binding of the viral attachment protein G to its host receptor ephrinB2 and show that monomeric and dimeric receptors activate distinct conformational changes in G and discuss implications for r...
