Scientists have determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, or the process through which the virus propagates itself and ...

Yet certain details of that virion assembly have been lacking for four decades. In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Jamil Saad, Ph.D., and colleagues ...

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 ...

Viruses are masters at invading cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

A team of scientists at the Salk Institute and Rutgers University has determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, the process ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) have created a three-dimensional picture of an important protein that is involved in ...

In a discovery that could spur the development of new therapies for more than 40 million HIV patients worldwide, scientists from Rutgers University and the Salk Institute determined the molecular ...

A new nanodisc-based platform lets scientists study viral proteins in a form that closely mimics real viruses, revealing how ...

A man with HIV has gone into remission after receiving bone marrow from his brother, who has a rare mutation that prevents ...

The 64-year-old stopped antiretroviral medication 24 months after a transplant for bone marrow cancer, after his brother was ...

The efficiency of HIV-1 replication hinges on the dynamic interplay between viral RNA and an array of viral and host proteins. At the core of this process is the dual role of the unspliced viral RNA, ...
