The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid ... It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins.

Local Rule-Based Theory of Virus Shell Assembly. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1994. 91(16): p. 7732-7736. Elrad, O. M. and M.F. Hagan, Mechanisms of ...

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 ... in both shape and ...

This involves the HIV-1 protease (a viral enzyme), that cuts up Gag into six smaller proteins including the capsid protein and the matrix protein. This causes a huge structural rearrangement of the ...

AI-assisted adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid engineering has transformative potential in terms of accelerating and optimizing the development of gene therapies. That’s the view of Fangzhi Tan ...
