the binding site. The researchers took a segment from the virus, which is known to be involved in the recognition of the receptor (marked in the colors of the rainbow), while it is bound to the corresponding segment in the receptor (marked in gray), and created crystals from them for examination using X-ray crystallography. The purple ball - the calcium ion that helped the binding process

A unique infection mechanism has been discovered, which a deadly virus uses to locate the target cells in the body and bind to them
