New research supports a structure-based classification system for viruses which could help in the identification and treatment of emerging viruses. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute ...

Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) and Professor Dennis Bamford and Dr. Janne Ravantti from the University of Helsinki have found ...

A team of US-based scientists has recently demonstrated the cryo-electron microscopic structure and antigenicity of the attachment glycoprotein of the Nipah virus. The study is published in the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team led by Purdue University researchers is the first to determine the structure of the Zika virus, which reveals insights critical to the development of effective antiviral ...

Researchers have determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, a step toward better understanding how the virus infects host cells and spreads. Researchers at Purdue University have ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Opening doors to the possibility of developing new vaccines and antiviral agents to fight a host of insect-borne diseases, scientists have, for the first time, determined the ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, and ticks are popping up ...

Geography of a virus: Using a technique called single-particle electron cryomicroscopy, the protein shell–called a capsid–of the epsilon 15 virus was imaged in unprecedented detail. “It’s a major ...

Scientists have found new evidence to support a classification system for viruses based on viral structure. Professor Robert Sinclair at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate ...
