Scientists use pore-forming toxin to punch holes in the membrane of HIV virus-like particles, making the capsid accessible to external cell factors and small molecules.

Scientists have determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, or the process through which the virus propagates itself and ...

Antiretroviral treatments for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) have been extremely successful in extending life expectancy and reducing transmission. But one major challenge has so far prevented ...

In a discovery that could spur the development of new therapies for more than 40 million HIV patients worldwide, scientists from Rutgers University and the Salk Institute determined the molecular ...

A team of scientists at the Salk Institute and Rutgers University has determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, the ...

A new Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered a surprising molecular link between HIV-1 and a protein fragment associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to findings published in the Proceedings ...

A new method could make it possible to identify the most dangerous parts of the HIV virus, so they can be singled out for attack.

COVID vaccine’s mRNA technology also works for an HIV vaccine, study shows Penn researcher Drew Weissman spent decades developing mRNA technology. He says it helps target the rapidly mutating human ...

You are mostly but not entirely human. If we crunch the numbers, 8% of your genome actually comes from viruses that got ...

Scientists previously knew that HIV Pol, a polyprotein, breaks into three enzymes—a protease, reverse transcriptase and integrase—that work together to assemble the mature form of the virus.
