HIV-1 particles are released from infected cells in an immature ... and then used computational image analysis to derive very detailed 3D models of the viral proteins. Unexpectedly they found that the ...

"We are finding the 3D structure of the genome," said Satoshi Namekawa, professor of microbiology and molecular genetics at the University of California, Davis and senior author on one of the papers.

Researchers at the Vaccine Research Center (“VRC”) have determined the three-dimensional structure of the HIV-1 Envelope trimeric ectodomain (“Env”), comprised of three gp120 and three ...
