A spherical influenza virion is an orderly hodgepodge comprised of hundreds of proteins that originate from both the virus and its host. A new mass spectrometry analysis, published today (September 16 ...

A major challenge lies in the virus's structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid ...

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H protein ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory ... Here, we describe the epidemiology of RSV, the RSV virion structure, key neutralizing epitopes on the pre- and post-fusion ...

Investigating the structure of viral filaments in spherules ... This insight is crucial for understanding the virus's replication mechanisms and may guide future research and therapeutic approaches.

Virus Structure and Assembly: My laboratory uses a variety of biophysical and structural approaches to approach fundament questions in virus structure and assembly. We are particularly interested in ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...
