Why the study?
Binding of rhinoviruses to ICAM-1 promotes virus activation, but the molecular details of this process remain unknown.
Population
Rhinovirus 14 virions and its complex with ICAM-1
Comparison
Rhinovirus 14 complexed with ICAM-1 vs uncomplexed rhinovirus 14 virions
Design
Cryo-electron microscopy structural study

Reveals ICAM-1-driven rhinovirus activation mechanism; leaves open therapeutic translation for common cold prevention.
The high-resolution structure of rhinovirus 14 in complex with ICAM-1 explains the molecular mechanism by which receptor binding primes enteroviruses for genome release.
