Recent discoveries of several new species, including the zoonotic Langya virus , have revealed much higher antigenic diversity than currently characterized and prompted the reorganization of these viruses into the and genera . Here, to explore the limits of structural and antigenic variation in both genera, collectively referred to here as HNVs, we constructed an expanded, antigenically diverse panel of HNV fusion and attachment glycoproteins from 56 unique HNV strains that better reflects global HNV diversity. We expressed and purified the fusion protein ectodomains and the attachment protein head domains and characterized their biochemical, biophysical and structural properties. We performed immunization experiments in mice leading to the elicitation of antibodies reactive to multiple HNV fusion proteins. Cryo-electron microscopy structures of diverse fusion proteins elucidated molecular determinants of differential pre-fusion state metastability and higher order contacts. A crystal structure of the Gamak virus attachment head domain revealed an additional domain added to the conserved 6-bladed, β-propeller fold. Taken together, these studies expand the known structural and antigenic limits of the HNVs, reveal new cross-reactive epitopes within both genera and provide foundational data for the development of broadly reactive countermeasures.

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.
