Proteins in the fluid surrounding the target cell bind to a virus and can make it more infectious. The virus can also accelerate the formation of threadlike amyloid fibrils that play a part in Alzheimer’s disease. Credit: E. Wikander/Azote/Stockholm University. New research from Stockholm Uni...

capsid - the outer covering of protein surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus virion - (virology) a complete viral particle; nucleic acid and capsid (and a lipid envelope in some viruses) protein - any of a large group of nitrogenous organic compounds that are essential constituents of living...

NS3, a ∼70 kDa protein, is the second largest protein encoded in the flavivirus genome and is characterized by high sequence conservation and a multi-functional role in replication (Yusof et al., 2000). The N-terminus of NS3 encodes a serine protease that is essential for flavivirus poly...
corona signature for viral samples in each biological fluid (Fig.1d). Although the serum-free viral particles contained some host factors that were incorporated during virus replication and budding from the cells, the virus was able to subsequently accumulate a different set of host factors that ...

Such effects are unavoidable; indeed, when considering a window of 1 kb surrounding the TSS, around 20% of CRISPRa sgRNAs affected additional genes in all examined libraries, including T.gonfio (Extended Data Fig. 3h). All sgRNAs that affect any genes other than the intended gene have ...
The viral capsid is the protective coat surrounding the viral genome. Protein monomeric subunits termed as capsomers or protomers combine together to build the shell structure of the capsid. A tight association of RNA or DNA based genome to capsid protein results in the formation of a nucleoprote...
Potential difficulty in conducting nanoindentation experiments arises from the need to perform measurements on single components of complex biomolecules without interference from the surrounding environment. By mechanically removing components of a biomolecule, structures of interest can be isolated and elastic ...
