Counter-clockwise rotation starting at 0º gives negative dihedral angles from -1º through

90º ending at -180º (the same dihedral angle  as +180º).

Viral Infections

Virus enters a cell via a cell-surface receptor for which it has affinity and preempts cell biosynthetic machinery to replicate all components of itself, including its genome.

This genome replication step is often error prone, generating numerous mutations.

Many Viruses Are Neutralized by Antibodies

Antibodies are particularly effective if they are localized at the site of viral entry into the body.
