Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow ...

They graphically represent the life cycle of HIV-1, from the initial binding of the viral particle onto a host cell (Viral Entry), through insinuation into the host cell's nucleus to spark the ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have discovered the mechanism behind an important step in the life cycle of ... This involves the HIV-1 protease (a viral enzyme), that ...

This image shows the replication cycle of HIV ... Next, new viral RNA is synthesized followed by production of viral proteins. Those will then mature into infectious HIV/SIV.

These inhibitors can interfere with the HIV capsid at various stages of the viral life cycle. Fixed-dose combination drugs reduce the daily pill burden a person with HIV may otherwise be faced ...

Efforts to elucidate the HIV life cycle, aided by the genome sequence of the virus, revealed that a virally encoded aspartyl protease was crucial in viral replication. Specific design of protease ...

New developments in anti-HIV therapy encompass several additional routes to blocking the viral replication cycle 2.For instance, Merck's (Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA) Isentress (raltegravir), a ...

HIV-1 Vif induces a unique and prolonged pseudo-metaphase arrest by disrupting phosphatase feedback regulation at the kinetochore.

A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.
