Colorized transmission electron micrograph of influenza A/H3N2 virus particles, isolated from a patient sample and then propagated in cell culture. Influenza A virus particles adapt shape—as filaments ...
Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that occur naturally, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated that the self-assembly of rod-shaped viruses can be controlled by applying a magnetic field. This ...
Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...
The human genome contains the instructions to make tens of thousands of proteins. Each protein folds into a precise shape - and biologists are taught that defined shape dictates the protein's destined ...
A new study shows how one of Ebola virus's key proteins, VP40, uses molecular triggers in the human cell to transform itself into different tools for different jobs. The human genome contains the ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...
Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab has created Seq2Symm, an open-source AI tool that helps scientists determine the 3D shapes of certain proteins, including those found in viruses. Seq2Symm uses AI to ...
