(PhysOrg.com) -- Using data collected at Advanced Photon Source at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, Calif., have for the first time solved the structure of a virus that can infect specific cancer cells. http://www.physorg.com/news145284574.html Medicine & Health Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:49:34 EST news145284574 The 3-D structure of the virus, known as Seneca Valley Virus-001, reveals that it is unlike any other known member of the Picornaviridae viral family, and confirms its recent designation as a separate genus "Senecavirus." The new study reveals that the virus's outer protein shell looks like a craggy golf ball -- one with uneven divets and raised spikes -and the RNA strand beneath it is arranged in a round mesh rather like a whiffleball. http://www.physorg.com/news142690851.html Biology Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:20:51 EST news142690851
