Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

Viruses called bacteriophages ... Our new research looked at one particular protein used by phages to bypass the natural defenses of bacteria. We found this protein has an essential control function ...

Aided by previous research on G3BP binding to viral proteins in another RNA virus, we engineered a G3BP inhibitor (G3BPi). The designed peptide inhibitor successfully prevented the N protein binding ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

Led by Professor Sandra Orgeig (University of South Australia) and Dr. Albert van Dijk (Utrecht University), the research identifies two key proteins Collection-10 (CL-10) and Collectin-11 (CL-11 ...

Previous work on molecular mimicry focused on the 3D structure of proteins, which is important for antibody-mediated immune recognition, but T cells typically recognize short, linear peptide sequences ...

"These viruses are so closely related to MERS, so we have to be concerned if they ever infect humans," said virologist Michael Letko.

Overall, the researchers found 18 distinct ways the STAND proteins might inhibit the activity of the virus. And the proteins appear to operate in a huge range of species.

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

Researchers predicted the 3D shapes of 70,000 viral proteins, revealing shared immune evasion strategies across animal and bacterial viruses. This discovery provides insights into viral-host ...

Engineered Virus Steals Proteins From H.I.V., Pointing to New Therapy. After promising results in monkeys, scientists plan to test the new treatment in a few people with H.I.V.
