Molecular Origami: 3D model of Zika virus

04/05

Last week, the 3D structure of the Zika virus, determined by cryo-electron microscopy, was released in the PDB archive. Public availability of the Zika virus atomic coordinates to medical researchers worldwide will accelerate new antiviral drug and vaccine development.
