Researchers describe the full molecular structure of the phage DEV. DEV infects and lyses Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and other diseases. DEV is part ...

University of Queensland researchers visualized yellow fever virus particles at near-atomic detail, uncovering major ...

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 ...

This is the first time a complete 3D structure of a fully mature yellow fever virus particle had been recorded at near-atomic resolution, revealing differences between the vaccine and pathogenic ...

The University of Huddersfield has awarded funding to a research team that aims to provide a head start in developing drugs that will combat future pandemics. Equipped with newly-acquired software, ...

At just 75 amino acids long, the envelope (E) protein is the smallest of the four structural proteins that make up the SARS-CoV-2 viral particle and is essential for the virus to infect cells. Data ...

MIT chemists have determined the molecular structure of a protein found in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This protein, called the envelope protein E, forms a cation-selective channel and plays a key role in ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...

While largely unnoticed, phages do not harm humans. On the contrary, these viruses are gaining increasing popularity as biomedicines to eradicate pathogenic bacteria, especially those associated with ...
