Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | Summary:Weak multivalent interactions govern a large variety of biological processes like cell-cell adhesion and virus-host interactions. These systems distinguish sharply between surfaces based on receptor density, known as superselectivity. Earlier experimental and theoretical work provided insights into the control of selectivity: Weak interactions and a high number of ligands facilitate […]
