Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology ... Glycoproteins typically bind to receptors on the membrane of a host cell. Viruses that do not bud from the host cell membrane ...

The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts’ bodies — hence the mapping of the Zika antibodies. That structural understanding is key to ...
