Big congrats to Brady and the ~Capsid Corps~ on their Cell Host & Microbe paper, out today! Brady et al spent years perfecting soluble capsid platforms that recapitulate different interfaces of the capsid lattice - a huge resource for #HIV biochemistry! authors.elsevier.com/c/1ZZEg6t8JEYt…
Also out today, Ivy’s companion paper in Cell Reports with more detailed information about the #HIV cofactor FEZ1! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
And this month’s Structure cover art is from our collaborator Juan Perilla Univ. of Delaware — an illustration of the capsid-binding factor MxB to accompany Sarah Smaga’s paper #SciArt
