Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the ...

A coiling protein “shell,” called a nucleocapsid, shown here, surrounds Ebola’s genetic material, which consists of single-strand RNA. University of Delaware researchers are simulating the way ...

The ability to examine how specific antibodies react with the Ebola virus has led to the development of a promising drug with far higher survival rates. Topics. Conditions. Week's top; ...

These researchers use high-resolution imaging techniques to examine a virus’s molecular structure—and uncover where a virus is vulnerable to new therapies. In a new Cell study, scientists in LJI’s ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined the shape and structure of a key element of the deadly Ebola virus, a discovery that will act as a road map for the ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a critical protein from the Ebola virus, which, though rare, is one of the deadliest viruses on the planet killing between 50 and 90 percent of those ...

Researchers have determined the crystal structure of the Ebola virus surface protein that binds host cells, ... Cell & Molecular Biology; Developmental Biology; Evolutionary Biology; Genetics; Genome ...

A team led by Gaya Amarasinghe, an assistant professor in biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology, has recently solved the structure from a key part of the Ebola protein known as VP35.

An antibody taken from an Ebola survivor has been found to target all three human strains of the virus and could eventually lead to an all-purpose vaccine against the killer disease, scientists ...
