One strategy that viruses use to take over a host cell is to mimic small parts of the cell’s proteins called motifs. In a new study coordinated from Uppsala University, researchers have used a new method and doubled the available information on how viruses mimic human binding motifs. The results suggest new targets for the development of antiviral inhibitors. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications.
