Deadly to newborn babies, the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infection. Dynamic structural changes in the Fusion F Glycoprotein reveal and hide binding sites, making targets of new therapies difficult to identify. Explore RSV Fusion F Glycoprotein-3RRR and learn more about its Postfusion 3D structure. (more…)

RSV Prefusion Glycoprotein
This is a 3D print of the RSV Fusion Glycoprotein in its prefusion state. The 3D printed protein models of RSV Fusion F Glycoprotein visualize the conformational changes of this viral protein during membrane fusion. Two chains are colored shades of magenta, with the third chain colored blue to red from N to C-Terminal. (more…)
