The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the viral ...

The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

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. – A study of two large virus structures shows that nature may use an "assembly-line" approach to build grand structures on a tiny scale. Scientists at Purdue University have ...

The Purdue University team that cracked the Zika virus’s code last year have now determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, a step toward better understanding how the virus ...

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have uncovered the structure and function of the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire ebolavirus (Ebola virus). Inmazeb (REGN-EB3), developed by ...

Pretty Scientific is a new Gizmodo series where we explore how the best images in science were created and why. “Form follows function” is an oft-repeated cliche in biology—if you know how something ...

MADISON, Wis. -- The atomic structure of an elusive cold virus linked to severe asthma and respiratory infections in children has been solved by a team of researchers at the University of ...
