Attachment to and fusion with cell membranes are two major steps in the replication cycle of
many human viruses. We focus on these steps for three enveloped viruses, ie, HIV-1, IAVs …

Continuous monitoring of pathogens finds applications in environmental, medical, and food
industry settings. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is one of the promising methods for …

The diffusion of viruses at the cell membrane is essential to reach a suitable entry site and
initiate subsequent internalization. Although many viruses take advantage of …

Nanoparticle interactions with cellular membranes are controlled by molecular recognition
reactions and regulate a multitude of biological processes, including virus infections …

The use of a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) to study the adsorption of
particles larger than 100 nm, such as liposomes, viruses, and nano/micro-plastics, remains …

This review provides an overview of recent advancements in understanding the antiviral
activities and mechanism of action of water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPs). Water-soluble …

N-and O-glycans are both important constituents of viral envelope glycoproteins. O-linked
glycosylation can be initiated by any of 20 different human polypeptide O …

Recognition of cell-surface glycans is an important step in the attachment of several viruses
to susceptible host cells. The molecular basis of glycan interactions and their functional …

Recently, the deep learning (DL) dimension of artificial intelligence has received much
attention from biochemical researchers and thus has gradually become the key approach …

Viruses utilize cell surface glycans and plasma membrane receptors to attain an adequate
attachment strength for initiating cellular entry. We show that SARS-CoV-2 particles bind to …
