WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Biologists have determined the three-dimensional structure of an unusual viral enzyme that is required in the assembly of new viruses. The Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus ...
Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus also depends on an enzyme, called M pro, to replicate in host cells. Because cruzain and M pro are ...
AMES, Iowa – The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has demonstrated a stubborn ability to resist most nucleoside antiviral treatments, but a new study led by an Iowa State University scientist could ...
Some viral infections just don’t go away. The hepatitis C virus, for instance, can result in life-long chronic infection if left untreated, leading to potentially life-threatening symptoms such as ...

Ancient retrovirus structure ties to modern respiratory viruses
Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...
A research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has successfully used specific enzymes to destroy the genetic information of SARS-CoV-2 directly after the virus penetrates the cell.
Artificial enzymes can fight the COVID-causing virus by selectively snipping apart its RNA genome, a new study suggests. Researchers say the technique may overcome key problems with previous ...
Our genome contains building instructions for proteins and other molecules. In order for these to be produced by the cell, a kind of transcript of these building instructions must first be created, ...
