OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is the canonical type-I viral envelope glycoprotein, and provides a template for the membrane fusion mechanisms of numerous viruses. Here, using single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) imaging we directly visualized conformational changes of HA trimers on the viral surface. These findings reveal the coordination between receptor binding and HA conformational dynamics, which facilitates efficient fusion.
