Herein, we characterized a heavy chain matured HIV-1 bnAb 44m, identified from a pediatric elite-neutralizer. Interestingly, in comparison to its wild-type AIIMS-P01 bnAb, 44m exhibited moderately higher level of somatic hypermutations of 15.2%. The 44m neutralized 79% of HIV-1 heterologous viruses (n = 58) tested, with a geometric mean IC titer of 0.36 μg/mL. The cryo-EM structure of 44m Fab in complex with fully cleaved glycosylated native-like BG505.SOSIP.664.T332N gp140 envelope trimer at 4.4 Å resolution revealed that 44m targets the V3-glycan N332-supersite and GDIR motif to neutralize HIV-1 with improved potency and breadth, plausibly attributed by a matured heavy chain as compared to that of wild-type AIIMS-P01. This study further improves our understanding on pediatric HIV-1 bnAbs and structural basis of broad HIV-1 neutralization by 44m may be useful blueprint for vaccine design in future.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
