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

Many pathogenic viruses require a specific structure to be infectious, and their proteins form that structure in vivo with remarkable fidelity. The dynamical process by which protein conformations are ...

Select a category above to classify viruses according to shared characteristics. Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology. The envelope contains viral proteins embedded in it.

My laboratory studies the structure and assembly of small DNA viruses. Specifically we are addressing three fundamental control points : 1) how is capsid assembly prevented in the cytoplasm, 2) how do ...

Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate inside a host organism. The four closely related dengue viruses — DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4 — are ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — One of the first things the general of any army does before a battle is scout the terrain. Without seeing and understanding the battlefield, the issues of tactics, strategy and ...

Tomas Cihlar knew all too well that despite initial successes with combination treatment, HIV was firmly holding ground ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today in eLife, is ...
