This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple filoviruses, enhancing treatment options against Ebola and potentially other related viruses. Key ...

Researchers have determined the crystal structure of the Ebola virus surface protein that binds host cells, they report online today in linkurl:Nature.; ...

This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, but since it was first identified in 1976, there have actually been more than 20 serious Ebola incidents. Thankfully, none of them had the ...

Structure of the trimeric, prefusion Ebola virus glycoprotein in complex with a neutralizing antibody from a human survivor. Nature , July 9, 2008 Cite This Page : ...

Ebola virus (EBOV) entry requires the surface glycoprotein (GP) to initiate attachment and fusion of viral and host membranes. Here we report the crystal structure of EBOV GP in its trimeric, pre ...

We obtained a structure for the Ebola virus NC in which the NP layer was resolved at 9.1 Å (Fig. 3a–c and Extended Data Fig. 2), and a structure of the Marburg virus NC in which the NP layer ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a critical protein from the Ebola virus, which, though rare, is one of the deadliest viruses on the planet killing between 50 and 90 percent of those ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined the shape and structure of a key element of the deadly Ebola virus, a discovery that will act as a road map for the ...

Since the first terrifying outbreak in 2013, the Ebola virus has periodically emerged in Africa, causing horrific bleeding in its victims and, in many cases, death. Juan Perilla, assistant professor ...

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal ...

The structure provides a major step forward in understanding how the deadly virus works, and may be useful in the development of potential Ebola virus vaccines, or treatments for those infected.
