The Arenaviridae family includes widely distributed pathogens that cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Replication and packaging of their single-stranded RNA genome involve RNA recognition by viral proteins and a ...

Various human pathogenic viruses employ envelope glycoproteins for host cell receptor recognition and binding, membrane fusion and viral entry. The spike (S) glycoprotein of betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is a homotrimeric ...

RNA silencing and RNA decay are functionally interlaced, regulate gene expression and play a pivotal role in antiviral responses. As a counter defensive strategy, many plant and mammalian viruses encode suppressors which ...

Southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) RNA purified from infected plants was used for cloning the viral genome-linked protein (VPg) and was subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli. Circular dichroism (CD), dynamic light ...

Hepatitis C (HCV) is a viral disease affecting millions of people worldwide, and persistent HCV infection can lead to progressive liver disease with the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. During ...
