Human norovirus capsid shifts between two shapes, cryo-EM reveals

Human norovirus capsid shifts between two shapes, cryo-EM reveals. A research team led by Kazuyoshi Murata has discovered that virus-like particles (VLPs) of human norovirus genotype GII.3 are not structurally rigid, but can adopt two distinct conformational states, similar to those previously reported for murine norovirus.

A apuração publicada por phys.org vira base para uma leitura editorial direta e contextualizada.
