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

To better understand the corrugation mechanism during IV ... and the viral membrane of the vaccinia virus. The emerging hypothesis proposes that the IMV assembly was driven by a sequence of ...

Despite great similarities in their Gag proteins that initiate virus assembly, retroviruses have distinct mechanisms for assembly that are incompletely understood. The work led by Saad ...

Furthermore, the approach described here to study the function and assembly mechanism of NP in influenza A virus RNPs should be readily adaptable to other NSVs. It will be interesting to determine ...

To overcome this problem, an empty virus-like particle (eVLP ... until we achieve a full understanding of the mechanisms that underlie capsid assembly and encapsidation of genomic RNA (or other ...

"A deeper understanding of the role of the genome in virus assembly mechanisms could lead to design principles for alternative antivirals," she said. The new work is an early step in understanding ...

“These findings advance our understanding of a key mechanism in HIV-1 particle assembly, which may facilitate the development of new therapeutic agents that inhibit HIV-1 assembly, envelope ...

The findings indicate a remarkable structural flexibility of the NEC, suggesting that the mechanism ... assembly and envelopment and are eventually released from the cell. Released virus particles ...
