A newly discovered molecule central to the assembly of HIV, termed IP6, may provide valuable insight into the development and function of viruses and how to combat them. In a study published in the ...

A group of University of Chicago scientists announced a groundbreaking study that explores the role of a small molecule, called IP6, in building the HIV-1 virus capsid. The genetic information of the ...

Research by a multi-institutional team, including two members from the University of Delaware, has revealed new details about the HIV virus capsid structure and how it develops. A capsid is a protein ...

A new technique using electron tomography and subtomogram averaging at Diamond's electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC), has solved the structure of the HIV capsid alone and in complex with host factors.

The discovery of a small molecule that plays an important part of the HIV life cycle may lead to the development of new treatments for the virus. Research by a multi-institutional team, including two ...
