Researchers at UD use supercomputer to gain insights into hepatitis B
Researchers at the University of Delaware, using supercomputing resources and collaborating with scientists at Indiana University, have gained new understanding of the virus that causes hepatitis B and the “spiky ball” that encloses the virus’s genetic blueprint.
The research, which has been published online, ahead of print, by the American Chemical Association journal ACS Chemical Biology, provides insights into how the capsid — a protein shell that protects the blueprint and also drives the delivery of it to infect a host cell — assembles itself.
