Gamers succeed where scientists fail: Molecular structure of retrovirus enzyme solved, doors open to new AIDS drug design Date: September 19, 2011 Source: University of Washington Summary: Online ...
A retrovirus is a virus that works by converting its own RNA into DNA once it is in a host cell. It then integrates this DNA into the DNA of the host cell, allowing the virus to replicate.
Psi is characterized, across all retroviruses, by the presence of long-range interactions (LRI) that maintain the overall structure of Psi. While it was well-established that the binding of Gag to ...
