Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of cell-cell adhesion by cadherins.

TL;DR: A linear zipper of molecules that mirrors the linear structure of the intracellular filaments with which cadherins associate may provide a mechanism to marshal individual molecular adhesive interactions into strong bonds between cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for broad and potent neutralization of HIV-1 by antibody VRC01.

TL;DR: The identification of three broadly neutralizing antibodies, isolated from an HIV-1–infected individual, that exhibited great breadth and potency of neutralization and were specific for the co-receptor CD4-binding site of the glycoprotein 120 (gp120), part of the viral Env spike.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-evolution of a broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibody and founder virus

TL;DR: The isolation, evolution and structure of a broadly neutralizing antibody from an African donor followed from the time of infection and its co-crystal structure revealed a new loop-based mechanism of CD4-binding-site recognition.
