Diverse Functions of Polyamines in Virus Infection [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on host cells for the building blocks of progeny viruses. Metabolites such as amino acids, nucleotides, and lipids are central to viral proteins, genomes, and envelopes, and the availability of these molecules can restrict or promote infection.

Origins of Human Virus Diversity [PDF]
Cell, 2002 The diverse consequences of different viral infections on the human population reflect both the history of their origins and the nature of their ongoing evolution. Advances in the ease of finding and characterizing viral genome sequences are having a major impact on our understanding of the diversity of human viruses and of their relatives infecting ...
