Structures vital to virus replication illuminated

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - 11:22 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have, for the first time, imaged molecular structures vital to how a major class of viruses replicates within infected cells. The research uses pioneering cryo-electron tomography to reveal the complex viral replication process in vivid detail, opening up new avenues to potentially disrupt, dismantle or redirect viral machinery.
