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

It’s the same when doctors, researchers and epidemiologists fight any virus: The physical structure of its molecules dictate how a virus infects people and moves through their bodies as well as how to ...

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

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 ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

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 ...
