Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The virus can cause fatal encephalitis in humans.

The 3.0 Å resolution crystal structure of Pariacoto virus (PaV) reveals extensive interactions ... of this module controls interactions with the cellular receptor, while the functions of RNA ...

A major challenge lies in the virus's structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid ...

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H protein ...

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria ... of a nucleic acid molecule that is surrounded by a protein structure. A bacteriophage attaches itself to a susceptible bacterium ...

My laboratory studies the structure and assembly of small DNA viruses ... We have found that subunits of the virus capsid (capsomeres) are as effective in eliciting a protective immune response as ...

However, its exact structure was previously unknown. The research team has now mapped the structure of this layer in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in detail and identified ...

A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to ... research through their ability to ...
