Scientists at the Electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, in the U.K., have harnessed a new technique, using cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and subtomogram averaging (STA) to ...

LA JOLLA, CA, June 12, 2009—New research by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and other institutions provides a close-up look at the cone-shaped shell that is the hallmark of human ...

Scientists have discovered how a powerful class of HIV drugs binds to a key piece of HIV machinery. By solving, for the first time, three-dimensional structures of this complex while different drugs ...

Though treatments are available, there is no cure or vaccine from HIV, which impacts about 38 million people worldwide. It's difficult to target the RNA genome of the HIV virus in part because it ...

The method reveals that the lattice, which forms the major structural component of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is dynamic. The discovery of a diffusing lattice made from Gag and GagPol ...

Using a simulation of more than 64 million atoms and a supercomputer named Blue Waters, researchers at the University of Illinois have created a digital model that could provide the key to curing HIV.

In a technical tour de force, structural biologists funded by the National Institutes of Health have determined the three-dimensional structure of a molecule involved in HIV infection and in many ...

There are currently ~38 million people worldwide living with HIV. If left untreated, HIV infection progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) where patients become extremely vulnerable to ...

A Brazilian research team has eliminated HIV from a patient’s body for 78 consecutive weeks using only medications, without ...
