To use the PP7 coat protein as a tag for imaging, Chao made a truncation that interfered with assembly of the capsid but still allowed the protein to dimerize and bind RNA. After the biochemical ...

The basic components of a virus are genetic material and a protein shell, called a capsid, that surrounds and protects the fragile nucleic acids. During the life cycle of a virus, the genetic material ...

But viruses can also be used to benefit human health, agriculture and the environment. Viruses are comparatively simple in structure, consisting of a piece of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in ...

This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now. Researchers from Delft ...

This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now. Researchers have now unraveled ...

Viruses are composed of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. The capsid keeps the genetic material safe. Some viruses also have greasy coat called an envelope.

For a virus, the vaccine can contain just a piece of the protein coat that surrounds the virus's DNA (or RNA). Even small portion of a virus is sometimes enough to stimulate an immune response in ...

Once confined to sportsmen and women, high-protein diets are now commonplace – with Paleo, Atkins, Zone and Dukan advocating that people eat large quantities of fish, meat, eggs, nuts and cheese ...
