Human Norovirus Aptamer Exhibits High Degree of Target Conformation-Dependent Binding Similar to That of Receptors and Discriminates Particle Functionality
MSPHERE, 1(6).
author keywords: aptamer; GII.4; histo-blood group antigen; infectivity; noroviruses
TL;DR:
A hitherto unexplored property of a different type of ligand, a nucleic acid aptamer, to mimic receptor binding behavior and assess capsid functionality for a selected strain of norovirus is reported, suggesting that other aptamers may show promise in the study of other fastidious microorganisms.
