As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team of researchers has determined the structure of the Zika virus, an important discovery in the development of antiviral treatments and vaccines. The researchers, led ...

Rossmann says mapping the structure of the dengue virus posed a number of technical challenges for the research group. Flaviviruses have been especially difficult to study in part because their ...

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 ...

A team led by Purdue University researchers is the first to determine the structure of the Zika virus, which reveals insights critical to the development of effective antiviral treatments and vaccines ...

Researchers have determined the structure of the Zika virus. The “near-atomic level map” shows Zika to be similar to the dengue virus, and other flaviviruses. The one key difference lies in a ...

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 ...

Model virus structure shows why there's no cure for common cold Date: October 28, 2013 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: In a pair of landmark studies that exploit the genetic ...

Dengue virus structure Dengue virus structure The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins.

Researchers have identified the structure of the Zika virus, laying the foundation for further study into the ways it infects healthy cells, according to a new study.

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. The findings provide the foundation for ...
