The chicken pox virus, for example, persists in the body after a childhood attack, to come back as shingles in adulthood.
In POX and CBDH, carbon atoms C2 and C1 of the ligands (site of oxidative attack in the proposed binding mode of the natural substrates) are located at this position (26, 27).
Substrates are consistently about equidistantly bound between these two important active site residues in POX, CBDH, and the GOX and the AAO model), whereby the hydroxyl group, site of oxidative attack, forms hydrogen-bonding interactions to both side chains.
Elizabeth Anne Fenn, a historian at George Washington University, in a new book, "Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82," shows how George Washington was deeply suspicious of British smallpox attacks as the disease ravaged his troops.
