Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its ...

Organoids were cultured from healthy donor iPSC sources and differentiated using the human iPSC-derived Cerebral Organoid ...

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are nanoscale particles, approximately 100–300 nm in diameter, formed by self-assembly of viral capsid ... proteins in their full natural conformation on the surface ...

Olson has been making models of proteins, DNA strands, and other biological objects ... Olson crafted 12 identical pieces that went together in the spherical form of a viral capsid. "But the parts ...

Virus assembly occurs on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum ... It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins.

Assembly and budding of a virus from a membrane microdomain. Viruses have an outer protein shell called a capsid which surrounds the viral nucleic acid. Enveloped viruses, such as HIV, have an ...

The envelope contains viral proteins embedded in it ... These viruses have only the capsid surrounding their genetic material. A virus budding from a host cell membrane. This sequence of steps ...
