Viruses have an outer protein shell called a capsid which surrounds the viral nucleic acid. Enveloped viruses, such as HIV, have an additional layer comprising a lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds ...

DNA viruses have to deliver their genetic material ... machinery that lacks pathogenic components. Covalent linkage of lipids to drugs could be achieved in several ways depending on the nature ...

1980), the possibility of virally-induced changes in HM lipids was studied. 4-6 week-old male Balb C mice were given 12,800 hemag-glutination units of egg-adapted Influenza B Lee/40 virus or ...

New insights into how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) curates and assembles its lipid envelope have been gleaned by RIKEN biologists. These findings into HIV biology could help to inform ...
