This paper identifies 9-O-acetylated sialic acids as a ligand for the SARS-CoV-2 NTD, revealing a dual-receptor functionality in the S1 domain that was rapidly selected against.

The paper investigates how avian H7 influenza A viruses can bind NeuGc through specific mutations, revealing insights into viral adaptation to NeuGc receptors.

The paper demonstrates that fully glycosylated trimeric RBD proteins of SARS-CoV-2 bind more effectively to ACE2 compared to monomeric or immaturely glycosylated variants.
