Learn how the molecule EBC-46 could advance how HIV is treated and how researchers discovered it.

UConn researchers have identified a novel small molecule for the development of a preventative treatment for a serious and ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

Norovirus is highly infectious and causing a lot of illness this winter. Several vaccine candidates are making their way through clinical trials.

The surprising discovery of entities smaller than viruses raises profound questions about what life is and how it got started ...

Elad Harel is used to shining a light on the mysteries of the natural world. Working at the cutting-edge of ultrafast ...

The T4 virus is a simple form of life with a precise architecture dictated by genes in its DNA molecule. By mapping the genes and learning their function one learns how the virus is put together ...

It is a near sphere of protein (cross section shown) inside a fatty membrane that protects a twisting strand of RNA--a molecule that holds the virus's genetic code. Proteins called "S" form spikes ...

UConn researchers have advanced technology that could tackle Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a condition that costs the ...

This in turn can inform the design of small-molecule inhibitors that disrupt the viral polymerase and render Nipah virus susceptible to treatment. "We hope that our findings will spark interest and ...
