Introduction to virus structure, transmission, and transport.
If the coat protein had to form different contacts in different places within the virus structure it would lead to ambiguities in assembly.
Viruses are not organisms in the strict sense of the word, but reproduce and have an intimate, if parasitic, relationship with all living organisms. Explore the structure of a virus with

Sheets of virus generate electricity when squishedThe biomaterial could one day power electronics using our body movements.Experimental adaptation of an influenza H5 HA confers respiratory droplet transmission to a reassortant H5 HA/H1N1 ...Highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza A viruses occasionally infect humans, but currently do not transmit efficiently among humans. The viral haemagglutinin (HA) protein is a known host-range determinant as it mediates virus binding to host-specific cellular receptors. Here we assess the molecular changes in HA that would allow a virus possessing subtype H5 HA to be transmissible among mammals ...Sleeper viruses explain why HIV evolves more slowly between people than within them | Not Exactly Rocket ScienceHIV – the virus behind AIDS – is the most diverse of all viruses. Once it infects someone new, it mutates so rapidly that it can spawn a million genetically different strains in just a few months. This evolutionary onslaught overwhelms the host’s immune system, and creates big problems for any scientist trying to create a cure or a vaccine. By evolving so quickly, HIV turns itself into a million ...Cold Sore Medication Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorldThe Cold Sore Medication Manufacturing industry has grown consistently over the past five years, even during the recession, when consumers preferred cheaper OTC medication over more expensive prescriptions. Most consumers come into contact with the herpes simplex virus by the age of 50, though the virus remains dormant most of the time. Because of the virus's prevalence, demand is highly stable ...After Epic Debate, Avian Flu Research Sees Light of DayAfter a marathon debate over a pair of studies that show how the avian H5N1 influenza virus could become transmissible in mammals, and an unprecedented recommendation by a government review panel to block publication, one of the studies was finally and fully published today (May 3, 2012) in the journal Nature.
