Geometric constraints on receptor interaction. In panels A and B, attachment of a short fiber (green) to CAR on the cell surface does not permit the penton base protein to interact with a cell surface integrin molecule. In panel C, a virus with a long flexible fiber is able to interact with CAR and integrin at the same time. The figure is modified from Wu et al. (101) with permission.
