Assembly and budding of a virus from a membrane microdomain. Viruses have an outer protein shell called a capsid which surrounds the viral nucleic acid. Enveloped viruses, such as HIV, have an ...

1, lower right). Concurrent experiments by the group of C. Knobler and W. Gelbart (UCLA), in which capsid proteins assemble around RNA molecules with lengths in excess of the viral genome length, ...

An international team of researchers led by UNSW Sydney medical researchers now have the details on how this novel drug pushes the HIV capsid to breaking point, stopping the virus in its tracks.

Ultimately, the virus uses our body's machinery to produce copies of itself and spread infection. The HIV-1 capsid is formed by a mesh of around 200 protein hexamers and pentamers, arranged ...

The DNA inside a phage capsid is densely packaged, and therefore a strong gate is required to keep it inside. Lhuillier and colleagues, writing in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National ...

Norovirus is a type of virus that typically infects the gastrointestinal tract and can infect individuals of all ages. It's very contagious and it has a "shell" (capsid) surrounding the virus ...

6 To generate a library of new capsids, Deverman edited a section of the AAV genome that contained a stretch of seven amino acids that he found can tolerate a bit of change but still form a capsid. By ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIO.B), announced the launch of Vericheck ddPCR™ Empty-Full Capsid Kits for adenoassociated virus (AAV) serotypes 2 and 8, enabling determination of capsid ...

The capsid license follows an agreement between Dyno and Roche originally announced in May 2020 and marks Dyno’s first adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid licensing and partnership completion.
