title: Influenza hemagglutinin: kinetic control of protein function.
abstract: In response to decreased pH, influenza hemagglutinin changes to a more stable conformation. Such changes, which can be controlled thermodynamically or kinetically, are the method by which many biological 'switches' are thrown.
