Scientists at the Electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, in the U.K., have harnessed a new technique, using cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and subtomogram averaging (STA) to ...

Scientists have determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, or the process through which the virus propagates itself and ...

A team of scientists at the Salk Institute and Rutgers University has determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, the process ...

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...

Scientists have identified a natural human protein that can rouse dormant HIV inside infected cells, a finding that sharpens one of the most promising paths toward a cure. By showing that the virus’s ...

Left: Structure of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Note the envelope protein that protects the virus against immunological detection and the small genome consisting of two short strands of RNA ...

Seroconversion is a general term for the time between exposure to a virus and when antibodies show up in your blood. Antibodies are proteins that help your body fight against viruses, bacteria, and ...

There is currently no cure for HIV, but medications can help people with the disease manage their symptoms. HIV can still develop into AIDS years after infection, however, even with disease management ...
