Abstract
Poxviruses range from deadly smallpox to attenuated vaccinia virus used in vaccines and oncolytic vectors. Despite their broad, if antithetical, effects on humankind, the mechanistic details of poxvirus assembly are not known. Here we discuss advances in revealing the structure of the palisade layer which underlies the viral core morphology.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
