    A pH-dependent cluster of charges in a conserved cryptic pocket on flaviviral envelopes

    Lorena Zuzic, Jan K Marzinek ... Peter J Bond
    Benzene mapping simulations of envelope protein rafts from six different flaviviruses reveal a conserved cryptic site whose cluster of ionisable residues is likely responsible for orchestrating pH-dependent conformational changes during fusion, thereby representing an attractive target for antiviral development.
