Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 use sugar molecules to hide from the immune system, but scientists at Scripps Research have designed ...

The surface of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is coated with spikes ... coupled with requirements for surface exposure of glycosylation sites, variable regions, neutralizing epitopes ...

The same glycosylation masking phenomenon also occurs in the hemagglutinin protein (HA) of the influenza virus, which makes ...

To enter other cells, HIV’s protein envelope must go through multiple glycosylation events, adding sugar moieties to the viral surface while in the infected cell. Therefore, the researchers came up ...
