Sinopsis
RNA viruses, influenza, H5N1 avian flu, nucleoprotein. Dr. Jane Tao's scientific research efforts are focused on RNA viruses. Recently, Dr. Tao's group determined the atomic structure of the influenza virus nucleoprotein, a well-conserved protein with essential roles in viral RNA replication. The atomic structure reveals interesting features that may have important applications in the development of new anti-influenza drugs.
