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 ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid ... For infection to happen, the H protein first binds to a receptor on the target cell, and then the F protein changes its conformation ...

A major challenge lies in the virus's structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid ...

We speculated that the PML domain might contain protective functions for the cell that must be ... that both DNA and RNA viruses target the same cellular structure, which might reflect a mechanism ...
