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 treatments and vaccines ...

Let the virus talk to the world—perhaps as a ubiquitous animation. Its tendency to mutate as its hosts try different immunity options against it is killing us.

This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not ...

They then imaged the virus in Penn State's Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) facility. Cryo-EM is a technique that allows researchers to determine the 3D structure of proteins and viruses at near ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team of researchers has determined the structure of the Zika virus, an important discovery in the development of antiviral treatments and vaccines. The researchers, led ...

Determining the structure of a virus is an important step in understanding and treating viral disease. For decades, structural biologists have been using cryo-electron microscopy to create ...

The incredible image above is the 3D structure of the Zika virus, which has only just been revealed. The finding could help scientists determine how the virus is transmitted and, hopefully, how to ...

The part of the virus imaged, called the spike protein, helps the virus attach to and infect human cells, and its structure comes just weeks after the virus’s genome sequence was published.

Researchers from Purdue University announced a major breakthrough Thursday, becoming the first team to determine the structure of the Zika virus.

Researchers announce that they have pieced together the entire genetic structure of a simple virus in just two weeks. Previous efforts have taken years. The scientists, led by genetic researcher ...
