Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

In this issue of Structure, Leyrat and colleagues provide the first structural analysis of the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) matrix protein, a key regulator of viral assembly. Though structurally similar to other matrix proteins, two calcium binding sites suggest intriguing differences in regulation.
