Glycan-Cyanovirin-N Interactions and Designed WW Domains: Combining Experimental and Computational Studies

abstract: Cyanovirin-N (CVN) is a cyanobacterial lectin with potent anti-HIV activity, mediated by binding to the N-linked oligosaccharide moiety of the envelope protein gp120. CVN offers a scaffold to develop multivalent carbohydrate-binding proteins with tunable specificities and affinities. I pre...
