New from the Choi lab!
Our study shows how West Nile virus polymerase recognizes its RNA promoter, stem-loop A. Excitingly, RNA decoys mimicking this structure can block viral replication + infection.

Post-doc position is available in Choi laboratory at IU. Our research focuses on the structure and function of viral RNAs & replication. Experience in biochemistry or structural biology (X-ray crystallography & cryoEM) is required. Please send cover letter and CV to [email protected]

Please repost.

How does enterovirus protease specifically recognize its viral RNA genome?

Hint: It takes two!
