Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.

Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

Distinct patterns of SARS-CoV-2 viral dynamics in saliva reveal heterogeneity that cannot be sufficiently explained by conventional clinical characteristics or microRNA profiles alone.

For the first time, scientists have captured how new antiviral drugs halt the herpes virus in real time as it tries to replicate.

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...

Harvard Medical School researchers have uncovered crucial insights into how an emerging class of antiviral drugs works.

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

Ushikuvirus is a newly identified giant virus that infects amoebas, adding to a growing group of oversized viruses that scientists believe may have played an important role in the emergence of complex ...

CDK2-mediated TBK1 degradation via Dtx4 represents a previously unrecognized regulatory mechanism that modulates antiviral immunity in fish.

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...
