New research supports a structure-based classification system for viruses which could help in the identification and treatment of emerging viruses. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute ...

The crystal structure of a beneficial virus, known as Seneca Valley Virus-001 has been mapped by Indian-origin researchers at The Scripps Research Institute. The crystal structure of a beneficial ...

The Purdue University team that cracked the Zika virus’s code last year have now determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, a step toward better understanding how the virus ...

Our work aims to understand the structure, assembly and function of various biological macromolecular complexes. We visualize specimens in their unstained, unfixed, native-like states using ...

Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus type 1 (PBCV-1) is a very large, icosahedral virus containing an internal membrane enclosed within a glycoprotein coat consisting of pseudohexagonal arrays of ...

Hendra virus (HeV) is one of the two prototypical members of the Henipavirus genus of paramyxoviruses, which are designated biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) organisms due to the high mortality rate of Nipah ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, and ticks are popping up ...

Scientists have found new evidence to support a classification system for viruses based on viral structure. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate ...
