Harnessing the power of AI, a research team at the MRC-University of Glasgow Center for Virus Research has launched ...

Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells (capsids) ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques ...

You are mostly but not entirely human. If we crunch the numbers, 8% of your genome actually comes from viruses that got stranded there. This viral detritus is a souvenir from our evolutionary past, a ...

Scientists have simulated the transition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein structure from when it recognizes the host cell to when it gains entry, according to a study published today in eLife. The ...

The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which kills plant pathogens, has been revealed for the first time, advancing the understanding of its infection mechanism. Okinawa Institute of Science ...

Many icosahedral viruses assemble proteinaceous precursors called proheads or procapsids. Proheads are metastable structures that undergo a profound structural transition known as expansion that ...

AI model EVE-Vax provides clues about how a virus may evolve and the immune response it could provoke. Effective vaccines dramatically changed the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing illness, ...
