he is now hoping to capture the full progression of how the virus structure moves and changes during RNA synthesis. “If we know the structure and interactions in the helical nucleocapsid ...
In the research presented, the team developed a recombinant antiparallel helical nucleocapsid-like structure to explore the interactions within the influenza A virus’s ribonucleoprotein (RNP).
They also detailed the interactions between the two strands of the helical structure. A molecule that serves as the genetic material for certain viruses, including influenza. It is single-stranded and ...
