Glycan-induced structural activation softens the human papillomavirus capsid for entry through reduction of intercapsomere flexibility

Abstract High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause various cancers. While type-specific prophylactic vaccines are available, additional anti-viral strategies are highly desirable. Initial HPV cell entry involves receptor-switching induced by structural capsid modifications. These modifications a...
