In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers proposed an optimal system to generate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus-like particles (VLPs) ...

Physicists have developed a method for moving microscopic particles with the flick of a light switch. Their work relies on a blue light to prompt colloids to move and then assemble—much like birds ...

Scientists been able to produce the first crystal structure of a virus particle caught in the midst of assembling its impenetrable outer protein coat. A research team at the Scripps Research Institute ...

Nucleosome core particles have been efficiently assembled in vitro by direct interaction of histones and DNA at physiological ionic strength, as assayed by digestion with DNases, supercoiling of ...

Plant viral coat proteins (CPs) represent multifunctional proteins, which can regulate viral infection cycle from genome replication/translation to virion assembly [1 ...
