A fantastic collaborative effort! Happy it's finely published. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Research Cornell CALS provides details of how the structure of the HIV-1 virus is assembled, offering potential new targets for treatment. news.cornell.edu/stories/2018/0…

I'm lucky to collaborate with such excellent scientists and people. Check out our preprint!

Our work on Rous sarcoma virus is now online Nature Communications. A continuation of the IP6 story with RSV structures! It was a joy to work with everyone. Special thanks to Florian Schur and Martin Obr @SchurLab. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thanks Alister Burt for the starfile tool! Had fun using it to play with some Relion 4 data!

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from Margot Riggi :
