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

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

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

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Viruses and bacteria have been around for billions of years, ... "These viruses were almost as big as bacteria and had pieces of machinery needed to make proteins," Caetano-Anolles said.

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.

Scientists in Spain and China discovered that HSV-1 begins rewriting the architecture of human genes just one hour after ...
