Purdue University researchers, working with scientists at the California Institute of Technology, have solved the three-dimensional structure of the dengue virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes ...

Flaviviruses, which cause insect-borne diseases such as dengue, West Nile virus, and yellow fever, have long stumped scientists trying to understand their molecular structure. No more, say ...

Researchers have shown that the dengue virus has the ability to alter its structure to evade a host’s immune response, existing vaccines and therapeutics.

A group of American scientists have unveiled the first three-dimensional structure of the dengue virus, opening new avenues for research into how the virus is transmitted, and hopefully how to ...

We have determined the crystal structure of a recombinant protein in which the dengue virus prM is linked to the envelope glycoprotein E. The structure represents the prM-E heterodimer and fits well ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only ...

The structure of the mature dengue virus particle was determined last year by Michael Rossmann and Richard Kuhn's team. The virus' surface is unusually smooth and its membrane is completely ...

Because all flavivirus are closely related, Kuhn says studying the structure of the dengue virus will reveal strategies that can be used to study other viruses in the family.

A near-atomic level map of Zika virus shows its structure to be largely similar to that of dengue virus and other flaviviruses, but with a notable difference in one key surface protein. The ...
