Model virus structure shows why there's no cure for common cold Date: October 29, 2013 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: In a pair of landmark studies that exploit the genetic ...

In a pair of landmark studies that exploit the genetic sequencing of the "missing link" cold virus, rhinovirus C, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have constructed a three ...

Analysis of these model structures revealed key sites for molecules to interact at, offering new targets for designing antiviral molecules against both viruses.

First atomic map of an agricultural model virus sheds light on its possible mechanism of infection The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which kills plant pathogens, has been revealed ...

For viruses to multiply, they usually need the support of the cells they infect. In many cases, only in their host's nucleus can they find the machines, enzymes and building blocks with which they ...

Some of their studies focus on understanding the molecular structure of the flu virus; others use computers to model how flu infection can spread. Structure Reveals One-Time Vaccine Target ...

Researchers have determined the structure of the rubella virus capsid protein, which is central to the virus's ability to assemble into an infectious particle and to infect humans.

Dengue virus has two membrane proteins, E and M, which undergo dramatic structural changes during the life cycle of the virus. The 3.5-Å cryo-EM structure of the mature prefusion Dengue virion ...

By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD. A new deep learning model, LucaProt, has detected over 251,000 new RNA virus species from global ecosystems, revealing unprecedented viral diversity in places ...

Here we report the crystal structure of the parainfluenza virus 5 F protein in its prefusion conformation, stabilized by the addition of a carboxy-terminal trimerization domain.

A research team led by a Duke professor recently developed a novel computational model to predict antibody structures, a significant breakthrough for disease prevention efforts. A study published ...

Researchers developed an AI model, LucaProt, that uncovered over 251,000 new RNA virus species, expanding our understanding of the RNA virosphere across global ecosystems.
