How the antibody cocktail works At 3.1 angstroms, the 3D structure is the highest-resolution image of the Ebola virus surface protein ever assembled using asymmetric reconstruction.

Nipah virus and Hendra virus are bat-borne zoonotic pathogens responsible for outbreaks of encephalitis and respiratory illness. Notably, these henipaviruses have fatality rates between 50% and 100%.

The mimivirus is the largest virus known to scientists, about half of a micrometre (0.0005 millimeter) in diameter. It is more than 10 times larger than the virus that causes the common cold and ...

It is with the help of this protein that the virus escapes human immunity and causes the monkeypox disease. Based on this discovery, they have prepared substances that can block the function of ...

Hadden-Perilla, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, is a structural biologist who uses supercomputers to create models and simulations to study how the structure of a virus controls how ...

One of the immune system’s healthy functions is to attack viruses, and PNMA2’s virus-like structure makes it particularly prone to being targeted as well, the researchers found. In fact, in ...

10/22/2018 | Determining the structure of a virus is an important step in understanding and treating viral disease. For decades, structural biologists have been using cryo-electron microscopy to ...

Called gain of function research, some are speculating that it could have been responsible for the COVID-19 virus and the pandemic it created.

One of the immune system's healthy functions is to attack viruses, and PNMA2's virus-like structure makes it particularly prone to being targeted as well, the researchers found.
