A receptor is defined as a protein that binds to an extracellular ligand, and then undergoes a con- formational or biochemical shift in such a way that it initiates a chain of intracellular events by which the cell reacts to the extracellular signal. What are these ligands and their receptors?

A ligand is a molecule that binds another specific molecule, in some cases, delivering a signal in the process. Ligands can thus be thought of as signaling molecules. Ligands interact with proteins in target cells, which are cells that are affected by chemical signals; these proteins are also called receptors.

Viral reproduction invariably produces errors that can lead to changes in newly produced viruses; these changes mean that the viral proteins that interact with cell-surface receptors may evolve in such a way that they can bind to receptors in a new host.
