The Raman spectrum of living cells and microorganisms contains highly specific fingerprint‐
like signatures, useful in unequivocally identifying different species and interpreting …

Influenza A and B viruses are highly contagious respiratory pathogens with a considerable
medical and socioeconomical burden and known pandemic potential. Current influenza …

Influenza A virus (IAV) uses the low pH in late endocytic vacuoles as a cue for penetration by
membrane fusion. Here, we analyzed the prefusion reactions that prepare the core for …

The matrix protein M1 plays a pivotal role in the budding of influenza virus from the plasma
membrane (PM) of infected cells. This protein interacts with viral genetic material and …

Viruses are obligatory cellular parasites. Their mission is to enter a host cell, to transfer the
viral genome, and to replicate progeny whilst diverting cellular immunity. The role of …

The M1 matrix protein of influenza A virus, which plays multiple roles in virion assembly and
infection, underlies the viral envelope. However, previous studies have given differing …

Influenza A virus matrix protein M1 is one of the most important and abundant proteins in the
virus particles broadly involved in essential processes of the viral life cycle. The absence of …

Influenza A virus (IAV) is an enveloped virus of the Orthomyxoviridae with a negative-sense
single-stranded RNA genome. During virus cell entry, viral and cellular cues are delivered in …

Beta-propiolactone (BPL) is commonly used as an inactivating reagent to produce viral
vaccines. Although BPL has been described to chemically modify nucleic acids, its effect on …

For virus infection of new host cells, the disassembly of the protective outer protein shell
(capsid) is a critical step, but the mechanisms and host-virus interactions underlying the …
