Nipah VirusNanobodies are popular and versatile tools for structural biology. They have a compact single immunoglobulin domain organization, bind target proteins with high affinities while reducing their conformational heterogeneity and stabilize multi-protein complexes. Here we demonstrate that engineered nanobodies can also help overcome two major obstacles that limit the resolution of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions: particle si…See the Story

Nottingham, England · Nottingham'Vivaldi': an amplicon-based whole-genome sequencing method for the four seasonal human coronaviruses, 229E, NL63, OC43 and HKU1, alongside SARS-CoV-2 Prior to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, alphacoronaviruses 229E and NL63 and betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 were already established endemic 'common cold' viral infections. Despite their collective contribution towards global respiratory morbidity and mortality and potential to inform the f…Read Article
