Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]
Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

Imaging, Tracking and Computational Analyses of Virus Entry and Egress with the Cytoskeleton [PDF]
Viruses have a dual nature: particles are “passive substances” lacking chemical energy transformation, whereas infected cells are “active substances” turning-over energy.

Giant capsids from lattice self-assembly of cyclodextrin complexes [PDF]
Proteins can readily assemble into rigid, crystalline and functional structures such as viral capsids and bacterial compartments. Despite ongoing advances, it is still a fundamental challenge to design and synthesize protein-mimetic molecules to form ...
