New Imaging Reveals The Dynamic Formation Structure in Viruses Like HIV – ScienceAlert
For the first time, the structural protein lattice that allows viruses like HIV to form has been revealed to be a moving, dynamic system, giving researchers insight into a hidden nanoscale process that might one day enable the development of new viru
For the first time, the structural protein lattice that allows viruses like HIV to form has been revealed to be a moving, dynamic system, giving researchers insight into a hidden nanoscale process that might one day enable the development of new virus-blocking treatments.
Using modelling in conjunction with a microscopy technique called interferometric photo-activated localisation microscopy (iPALM), researchers have visualised how HIV virus-like particles (VLPs) take shape in real-time, moving…
