a) Setup of SLB on TIRF microscope. Evanescent field illuminates regions where SLB and virus interacts. b) Structure of the sialic acid receptors for X31 tested here. The α2,3-linked sialic acid groups are circled by the blue perimeters. Following the notation by Suzuki et al. [16], sialic acid groups are labeled as either being in the internal (I) or terminal (T) position.
