HUMAN-TYPE SIALIC ACID RECEPTORS CONTRIBUTE TO AVIAN INFLUENZA A VIRUS BINDING AND ENTRY BY HETERO-MULTIVALENT INTERACTIONS

Human-type sialic acid receptors contribute to avian influenza A virus binding and entry by hetero-multivalent interactions

It is believed that human Influenza HA glycoprotein attaches to alpha2-6 linked sialic acids (SA) on cells, while avian viruses bind to alpha2-3 linked PERMED/COLOUR TREATED SHAMPOO sialic acids, therewith contributing to host tropism.Here, Liu et al.show that mixing low-affinity alpha2-3 SA with low amounts of high-affinity alpha2-6 SA increases b

A second orthorhombic polymorph of (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)-1-(2-thienyl)prop-2-en-1-oneThis paper is dedicated to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand (King Rama IX) for his sustainable development of the country.

The title heteroaryl chalcone, C21H14OS, is a second orthorhombic polymorph which crystallizes in the space group P212121.The structure was previously reported [Fun et al.(2009).Acta Cryst.E65, o2168-o2169] in the space group Pna21.The bond distances and angles are similar in both structures.In contrast, the overall crystal Protection packing is di

Alkali-silica Reaction in Finnish Concrete Structures

Even though natural phenomena do not abide to borders, Finland has traditionally been considered an alkali-silica reaction (ASR) free country.This is due to exceptional quality of the mostly Area Rugs course crystalline igneous rocks.However, during the last few years dozens of cases of ASR have been reported.The scope of this study was Kids Suitca
