Contribution to the total binding free energy change of every amino acid of PeB GF binding to HA of Aichi H3N2 obtained by MD-simulations is shown in Fig 2B. Our aim was to obtain peptide inhibitors that recognize the conserved region of the sialic acid binding pocket of HA with a broader specificity to cover several influenza virus strains. The three CDRs of the VH-chain of antibody HC19 against hemagglutinin of influenza virus Aichi H3N2 were used as templates to design peptides being a potential inhibitor of virus binding to host cells. As a consequence, the hemagglutination inhibition efficiency may not necessarily be stronger against Aichi H3N2, even though the peptide was derived from an antibody binding to this influenza strain. ./cache/cord-002141-9mxi4dzi.txt ./txt/cord-002141-9mxi4dzi.txt
