A new paper published this week in the journal Nature describes how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations.

Want to catch a criminal? Show a mugshot on the news. Want to stop HIV infections? Get the immune system to recognize and attack the virus’s tell-tale structure. That’s part of the basic approach ...

image: The new Science Express study reveals the structure of the CCR5 cell surface receptor, which most strains of HIV use to enter human immune cells. This image shows CCR5 side-by-side with ...

A new technique using electron tomography and subtomogram averaging at Diamond's electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), has solved the structure of the HIV capsid alone and in complex with host factors.

Scientists crack the structure of HIV machinery Date: January 5, 2017 Source: Salk Institute Summary: Antiviral therapy could be improved with newly uncovered atomic-level details of the structure ...

Sep 12, 2013: Molecular structure reveals how HIV infects cells (Nanowerk News) In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a ...

Scientists have provided the first-ever glimpse of the structure of a key protein -- gp120 -- found on the surface of a specific subgroup of the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1. In addition ...

HIV-1 Env glycoprotein binds receptors on the host cells, triggering a conformational change from a closed to an open state. Now single-particle cryo-EM analysis of a soluble, trimeric Env ...
