These outcomes highlight the crucial role of the genome and the importance of physical self-correction in achieving the correct icosahedral symmetry. Why is icosahedral symmetry the preferred ...
A team of physicists and a virologist explains how large virus shells are formed. Their work can also be used also to explain how large spherical crystals form in nature. This understanding may help ...
Flaviviruses, such as Dengue and Zika, were assumed to be symmetrical icosahedrons (shapes with 20 identical faces) based on data from microscopes. But these icosahedral viruses might not be perfectly ...
Virus Particle Explorer (VIPER: http://mmtsb.scripps.edu/viper) is a web-based catalogue of structural information describing icosahedral virus particles. Virus ...
Determining the structure of a virus is an important step in understanding and treating viral disease. For decades, structural biologists have been using cryo-electron microscopy to create ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Determining the structure of a virus is an important step in understanding and treating viral disease. For decades, structural biologists have been using cryo-electron ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A virus, the simplest physical object in biology, consists of a protein shell called the capsid, which protects its nucleic acid genome -- RNA or DNA. The capsid can be ...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy ...
