A new study from scientists at The Scripps Research Institute describes the high-resolution structure of the HIV protein responsible for recognition and infection of host cells. The studyis the first ...

In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of HIV use to get into human immune ...

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 only ...

Researchers have for the first time unravelled the complex structure of the inner protein shell of HIV. The US team, reporting in Nature, also worked out exactly how all the components of the shell or ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers say they have achieved a significant victory in the ongoing campaign against HIV by uncovering how the virus changes shape, which has been the main obstacle to ...

HIV type 1 (HIV-1) uses multiple mechanisms to evade the immune system, and these have stymied the development of an effective vaccine 1,2,3. One mechanism—conformational masking 4 —hides the ...

Physicists crack the structure of HIV’s protein coat, genes from forgotten plants reborn to breed crops able to deal with climate change and cultural influence on human genetics. Show more Scientists ...

SHANGHAI, CHINA, AND LA JOLLA, CA – In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a cell-surface receptor that most strains of ...
