Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

For the first time, researchers from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences and the University Medical ...

A genetically encoded “live-cell” probe designed by researchers from Tokyo Tech has been able to identify phosphorylated Ser2 in the enzyme RNA polymerase II, subsequently identifying sites of the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 98, No. 5 (Feb. 27, 2001), pp. 2550-2554 (5 pages) The yeast transcriptional repressor Tup1, tethered to DNA, ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

Using cryo-microscopy, researchers present a high-resolution structure of monkeypox virus DNA polymerase holoenzyme, a complex that plays a key role in the genome replication process of the virus. The ...

Photosystem II (PSII) enables global-scale, light-driven water oxidation. Genetic manipulation of PSII from the mesophilic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 has provided insights into the ...
