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

Krol, M. A., et al., RNA-controlled polymorphism in the in vivo assembly of 180-subunit and 120-subunit virions from a single capsid protein. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

The DNA inside a phage capsid is densely packaged, and therefore a strong gate is required to keep it inside. Lhuillier and colleagues, writing in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National ...

These viruses have only the capsid surrounding their genetic material. A virus budding from a host cell membrane. This sequence of steps forms the virus’s envelope. A host is an organism that a ...

The structure that encloses the virus – the capsid – protects the virus and makes it more resistant to alcohol-based ...

Astellas Pharma and Sangamo Therapeutics have signed a licence agreement for a neurotropic adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid, STAC-BBB, aimed at treating neurological diseases. Astellas will ...

Our study of human papillomavirus assembly has been translated into the development of vaccine reagents for the prevention of cervical cancer. We have found that subunits of the virus capsid ...

Norovirus, the winter vomiting bug, is highly infectious among people in confined places – like cruise ships. But not ...
