Laser-powered ‘tweezers’ reveal universal mechanism viruses use to package up DNA
From eLife 27/11/23 Researchers have used laser-powered ‘optical tweezers’ to reveal a universal motor mechanism used by viruses for packaging their DNA into infectious particles. The research, published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a fundamental study that could be paradigm-shifting for our understanding of how viral DNA motors […]
