In 2011, a new virus was isolated from pigs with influenza-like symptoms and subsequently
also from cattle, which are the main reservoir of the virus. It is similar to Influenza C virus (ICV)…

Assembly and budding of influenza virus proceeds in the viral budozone, a domain in the
plasma membrane with characteristics of cholesterol/sphingolipid-rich membrane rafts. The …

Carrier relaxation and recombination in self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD’s) is
investigated by photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE), and time-resolved PL …

Cytoplasmic domains of members of the p24 family of putative cargo receptors were shown
to bind to coatomer, the coat protein of COPI-coated transport vesicles. Domains that …

Synaptotagmin, a likely calcium sensor for synaptic transmission, and SNAP-25, a t-SNARE
of the presynaptic plasma membrane, are key proteins for the docking and fusion of synaptic …

The emergence of a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),
resulted in a pandemic. Here, we used X-ray structures of human ACE2 bound …

Background Pseudorabies virus (PRV) causes Aujeszky’s disease in pigs and can be
transmitted to other mammals, including humans. In the current study, we systematically studied …

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has
shown once again that coronavirus (CoV) in animals are potential sources for epidemics in …

The hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein which is
acylated with long-chain fatty acids. In this study we have used oligonucleotide-directed …
