Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...

By arranging elastic protein subunits in a perfectly symmetrical way, the virus creates a shell that is both very stable and requires the fewest building blocks. This design gives maximum protection ...

Researchers have created an AI tool called EVE-Vax that can predict and design viral proteins likely to emerge in the future. For SARS-CoV-2, panels of these “designer” proteins triggered similar ...

Scientists mapped the Bas63 bacteriophage in unprecedented detail, uncovering how its tail machinery infects bacteria. The structure reveals rare whisker-collar features and distant evolutionary ties ...
