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 ...

While finding HIV therapies is a main driver for Yeager's work, he points out that it also provides fundamental insights into biology. "Determining the assembly of a relatively simple structure ...

The new Science Express study reveals the structure of the CCR5 cell surface receptor, which most strains of HIV use to enter human immune cells. This image shows CCR5 side-by-side with alternate ...

Scientists have provided the first-ever glimpse of the structure of a key protein -- gp120 -- found on the surface of a specific subgroup of the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1. In addition ...

Want to catch a criminal? Show a mugshot on the news. Want to stop HIV infections? Get the immune system to recognize and attack the virus’s tell-tale structure. That’s part of the basic approach ...

"We have solved the long sought-after structure of an important HIV protein," Price said. "Now that we know the details of the interaction between Tat and P-TEFb, it may be possible to design ...

Here, we present the cryo-EM structure, at subnanometer resolution (∼6 Å at 0.143 FSC), of the 'closed', prefusion state of trimeric HIV-1 Env complexed to the broadly neutralizing antibody VRC03.

Eddy Arnold, co-senior author, Board of Governors Professor and Distinguished Professor in the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine at Rutgers Knowledge of HIV Pol's structure sheds new ...

LA JOLLA--Salk Institute scientists have solved the atomic structure of a key piece of machinery that allows HIV to integrate into human host DNA and replicate in the body, which has eluded ...

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 ...
