"The structure itself also provides a starting point for designing antiviral drugs that might bind to this RNA and prevent it from doing whatever it is that is vital to the life cycle of the virus." ...

it is a small circular RNA that, due to high sequence complementarity, folds in on itself to form a rod-like structure. Like other virusoids, hepatitis D depends on a helper virus to infect cells ...

Conventional RNA sequencing methods usually require ... respectively, forming a structure of virus particle (S: spike protein, E: envelope protein, M: membrane protein, and N: nucleocapsid protein).

This RNA structure could serve as a novel biomarker ... In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by an RNA virus, understanding how RNA folds within cells becomes paramount." ...

For the first time, researchers have visualized the three-dimensional structure of the Nipah virus's RNA polymerase—the ...

In about 5 percent of cases, the virus replicates in other tissues. Paralytic poliomyelitis occurs in less than 1 percent of cases. The viral proteins of poliovirus are: 3D(pol): an RNA dependent ...

In the work, Guo and researchers explored the unique structure of the DNA ... when his lab discovered that RNA nanoparticles in the bacteriophage phi29 virus can be constructed by self-assembly ...

“The structure of the virus provides a map that shows potential regions of the ... The team found the structure to be very similar to that of other flaviviruses with an RNA genome surrounded by a ...
