Abstract:
Highlights? Bat influenza H17 lacks canonical human or avian receptor binding capacity ? H17 has a distorted receptor binding site with negatively charged residues ? H17 displayed trypsin susceptibility and instability even at pH 8.0 ? An exposed fusion peptide is observed in H17 structure due to contorted trimerization
