Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a ...

he is now hoping to capture the full progression of how the virus structure moves and changes during RNA synthesis. “If we know the structure and interactions in the helical nucleocapsid ...

Research interests: assembly and structure determination of viruses, virus-receptor interaction, antivirals, neutralizing antibodies, electron cryo-microscopy, image processing, crystallography. Sarah ...

The 3.0 Å resolution crystal structure of Pariacoto virus (PaV) reveals extensive interactions between portions of the viral RNA genome and the icosahedral capsid. Under the protein shell of the ...

Without seeing and understanding the battlefield, the issues of tactics, strategy and supply are moot. It’s the same when doctors, researchers and epidemiologists fight any virus: The physical ...

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 ...

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.

An international research team has now investigated the structure of the poxvirus prototype, the vaccinia virus (VACV). The work is published in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
