Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the ...

The work provides a detailed three-dimensional picture of the virus's polymerase and its key features. Understanding the ...

Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology. The envelope contains viral proteins embedded in it. Viral proteins with sugars attached to them are called glycoproteins ...

Understanding the structure and assembly of these viruses is crucial for developing effective vaccines and antiviral therapies. Recent research has focused on various aspects of RNA virus ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
