A new study from scientists at The Scripps Research Institute describes the high-resolution structure of the HIV protein responsible for recognition and infection of host cells. The studyis the first ...

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 only ...

In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of HIV use to get into human immune ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack its genetic material into new viral particles.

A better understanding of HIV viral protein structure could result in better HIV therapy, feel researchers who are working on this collaborative project at UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL). A ...

Researchers have for the first time unravelled the complex structure of the inner protein shell of HIV. The US team, reporting in Nature, also worked out exactly how all the components of the shell or ...

Single-stranded RNA viruses encompass broad classes of infectious agents and cause the common cold, cancer, AIDS and other serious health threats. Viral replication is regulated at many levels, ...

Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers say they have achieved a significant victory in the ongoing campaign against HIV by uncovering how the virus changes shape, which has been the main obstacle to ...

One of the main challenges of developing an HIV-1 vaccine lies in eliciting immune responses that can overcome the antigenic variability exhibited by HIV. Most HIV-1 vaccine development has focused on ...

SHANGHAI, CHINA, AND LA JOLLA, CA – In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of ...

LA JOLLA, CA - March 3, 2016 - A new study from scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) describes the high-resolution structure of the HIV protein responsible for recognition and infection ...
