The dengue virus has a roughly spherical structure. It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins. After infecting a host cell ...

Until now, the structure and function of the Nipah virus polymerase remained poorly understood, researchers said, cautioning ...

Researchers developed a model that detects SARS-CoV-2 mutations linked to increased transmission, identifying high-risk ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and Heidelberg University have observed largely intact HIV-1 capsids as ...

Using a virus-like delivery particle made from DNA, researchers from MIT and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard have created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against ...

But just how did the injection of viral DNA into a bacterium create ... James Watson and Francis Crick determined the three-dimensional structure of DNA. This discovery enabled investigators ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the ...

and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure. Comparison of a ...

“There are more than 200 known viruses. For only five percent of those, we have actual medication that you can use to treat an acute infection,” he says. DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a ... a group of proteins the virus uses to copy its genetic material, spread, and infect cells. The work provides a detailed ...
