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…
