This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...
Researchers have tapped a supercomputer with 3,000 Nvidia graphics chips to simulate the chemical structure of the HIV virus. The breakthrough, described in the scientific journal Nature today, will ...
A new study offers the first atomic-scale view of an interaction between the HIV capsid - the protein coat that shepherds HIV into the nucleus of human cells - and a host protein known as cyclophilin ...
A study by chemists at the University of Chicago has uncovered a new key step in the process that HIV uses to replicate itself. The study, published Jan. 6 in Science Advances, used computer modeling ...
Because viruses have to hijack someone else’s cell to replicate, they’ve gotten very good at it—inventing all sorts of tricks. A new study from two University of Chicago scientists has revealed how ...
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The outer shell, called the capsid (yellow and purple) envelopes the viral RNA genome (blue). Illustration credit: Janet Iwasa Accomplishing a feat that had been a ...
From a virus's point of view, invading our cells is a matter of survival. The virus makes a living by highjacking cellular processes to produce more of the proteins that make it up. From our point of ...
A study by chemists at the University of Chicago has uncovered a new key step in the process that HIV uses to replicate itself. The study, published Jan. 6 in Science Advances, used computer modeling ...
A new study has revealed how HIV squirms its way into the nucleus as it invades a cell. Because viruses have to hijack someone else's cell to replicate, they've gotten very good at it -- inventing all ...
