Journal ArticleDOI

Visualizing Large RNA Molecules in Solution

TL;DR: The attached figure uses experimental and computational visualization methods to demonstrate that a 2774-nucleotide viral RNA has an elongated concave shape under in vitro assembly conditions and is physically slightly larger than the virus particle it ultimately packages into.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering polypeptide coatings to augment gene transduction and in vivo stability of adenoviruses.

TL;DR: The non-covalent modification was able to alter Ad's interactions with cells and organs with retention of transduction efficiency, and was potentially useful as a platform for adding functionalities to Ad to target cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epitope arrangement on flavivirus particles contributes to Mab C10’s extraordinary neutralization breadth across Zika and dengue viruses

TL;DR: In this paper, the human monoclonal antibody C10 exhibits extraordinary cross-reactivity, potently neutralizing Zika virus (ZIKV) and the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV1-DENV4) and showed that C10 interaction with the latter viruses requires an E protein conformational landscape that limits binding to only one of the three independent epitopes per virion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of Dense Core Vesicles in Hippocampal Synapses Following Chronic Inactivity.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron tomography is employed to visualize synaptic ultrastructure in cultured hippocampal neurons and changes in subcellular features in response to chronic inactivity are investigated, consistent with a role for presynaptic DCVs in activity-dependent synapse maturation.

RAPID COMMUNICATION Three-Dimensional Visualization of Tegument/Capsid Interactions in the Intact Human Cytomegalovirus

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of the intact human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was determined to 18-A resolution by electron cryomicroscopy and computer reconstruction as discussed by the authors.
