Argonaute Protein Small RNA sequences guide Argonaute Protein (Apo) to its specific DNA targets, which then leads to mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition. Inside the gut, bacteria express control over their host organism by secreting Nitric Oxide which modulates Apo function. Explore the 3D structure of Argonaute Protein. (more…)

Human Cytomegalovirus
The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the leading cause of viral birth defects. HCMV Pentamer Complex is considered a key target candidate for vaccine therapies. How HCMV avoids humoral immunity is not clear. New research into the elusive virus reveals the surprising role of the host cell’s endoplasmic reticulum to aid viral infection. (more…)

Ebola Virus Ectodomain
Ebolavirus (EBOV) is a highly virulent pathogen capable of causing a severe hemorrhagic fever with 50–90% lethality. The EBOV glycoprotein (GP) is the only virally expressed protein on the virion surface and is critical for attachment to host cells. 3D print model the ectodomain of the Ebolavirus. (more…)
