Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute and the University of Chicago have uncovered a mechanism that SARS-CoV-2, ...

A group of bat viruses closely related to the deadly Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) could be one ...

Prions, mysterious shape-shifting proteins, can lead to brain disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. Influenza A virus envelop protein hemagglutinin (HA) plays important roles in viral entry. We previously have ...

As part of our effort to decipher the molecular mechanisms of assembly and TRIP13-mediated remodeling of the human Shieldin complex, we have solved X-ray and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) ...

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

These newly discovered weapons take different approaches to achieving the same goal: arresting cellular activity, which prevents a virus from spreading through ... are brought to a grinding halt.

Bacterial community structure, metabolic pathways, and assembly mechanisms were analyzed using Bugbase and PICRUSt2 for phenotypic and metabolic pathway predictions. Results: The study found that ...

Viral transport mechanisms, such as diffusive movement and directed movement by motor proteins on cytoskeleton tracks, have been probed using single-virus tracking. By monitoring the assembly of ...
