Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a highly promising vector for human gene therapy due to its favorable safety profile, versatility, and ability to transduce a wide range of tissues. However, natural AAV serotypes have shortcomings, includi...
BACKGROUND: The large tumor antigen (LT-Ag) and major capsid protein VP1 are known to play important roles in determining the host-specific infection properties of polyomaviruses (PyVs).
Modern experimental technologies can assay large numbers of biological sequences, but engineered protein libraries rarely exceed the sequence diversity of natural protein families. Machine learning (ML) models trained directly on experimental data wi...
The detailed analysis of secondary envelopment of the Human betaherpesvirus 5/human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images is an important step towards understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation of infect...
Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are the leading cause of viral diarrhoea across various host species, including mammals and birds. The VP7 and VP4 proteins of these viruses play critical roles in determining genotype specificity, influencing viral infecti...

An effective approach in the development of novel antivirals is to target the assembly of viral capsids by using capsid assembly modulators (CAMs). CAMs targeting hepatitis B virus (HBV) have two major modes of function: they can either accelerate nu...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) belongs to the Lentivirus genus, Retroviridae family, enveloped by a lipid bilayer within which the capsid protein encases the viral genome, reverse transcriptase, and integrase proteins, key components for viral re...
Target gene delivery is crucial to gene therapy. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a primary gene therapy vector due to its broad host range, long-term expression, and low pathogenicity. However, AAV vectors have some limitations, such as i...
