Integrase is an essential retroviral enzyme that binds both termini of linear viral DNA and inserts them into a host cell chromosome. The structure of full-length retroviral integrase, either ...

If the virus invades a nonreproductive cell, infection may spread, but viral DNA will die with the host. A retrovirus is called ... gene function and genome structure, they can influence the ...

Is working to synthesize such components to block retrovirus nucleic acid expression and oncogenes ... In 1985, his group became the first to solve the structure of an animal virus when it mapped the ...

Retroviral vectors integrate stably into the ... Transcription of the provirus generates an RNA with the same LTR structure as the original RNA. AAA: 3'poly(A) sequence; LTR: Long terminal repeat ...

The study uncovered how HIV “hides,” an understanding that could help future treatments find and eradicate it.

Such enzymes, known as retroviral proteases, play a key role in the virus' spread — and if medical researchers can figure out their structure, they could conceivably design drugs to stop the ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), researchers at The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, have ...

A retrovirus is a virus that works by converting its own RNA into DNA once it is in a host cell. It then integrates this DNA into the DNA of the host cell, allowing the virus to replicate.

HIV anti-retroviral therapy is considered a treatment ... "It's a deceptively dormant virus," says immunovirologist Daniel Kaufmann of the University Hospital of Lausanne, the University of ...
