For the first time, however, the structure of this protective mantle and its interactions with the virus' RNA have been ...

For the first time, scientists mapped the atomic-scale interactions of influenza’s RNA-protein double-helix shield using cryo ...

In a new study, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers reveal a bacterial immune system that thwarts the phages’ plot by attaching a small protein molecule to their tails. The components of this ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

RNA-targeting compounds or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a potent means for controlling viral infections. An essential prerequisite to their design depends on identifying conserved and ...

Researchers analyze various aspects of gene regulation, among which are the three-dimensional structure of the genome and DNA methylation, which differ for different cell types and play significant ...

For the first time, however, the structure of this protective ... belong to the ribovirus family: their genetic material consists of RNA. These viruses use the machinery of the cells they infect ...
