Researchers from Purdue University said Thursday they had determined the structure of the Zika virus. The work could help find better treatments or vaccines for the virus. The team, which published a ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the viral ...

Purdue Professor Richard Kuhn, standing, speaks to the media and a large gathering Thursday (March 31) in Hockmeyer of Structural Biology to announce findings of Purdue-led Zika virus research.

The Purdue University team that cracked the Zika virus’s code last year have now determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, a step toward better understanding how the virus ...

In a pair of landmark studies that exploit the genetic sequencing of the "missing link" cold virus, rhinovirus C, scientists have constructed a three-dimensional model of the pathogen that shows why ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H protein ...
