Most DNA viruses, for example ... Even in those virions that share basic icosahedral and helical capsid symmetry, remarkable complexity has evolved to promote viral propagation.

A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.

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 ...

To investigate the problem, Penadés and his team began searching for ways one type of superbug — a family of ...

Unlike traditional antiretrovirals that target enzymes such as reverse transcriptase or protease, LEN binds directly to the ...

A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are ...

Infections with the hepatitis E virus often go unnoticed because they cause no symptoms. However, in patients with a weakened ...

The Zika virus builds tiny tunnels, called tunneling nanotubes, to stealthily transport material needed to infect nearby ...

The virus is composed of three layers—a capsid that contains the viral DNA, a protein layer called the tegument and an outer envelope that is studded with viral glycoproteins (proteins with a ...
