Fluidigm's TOPAZ[R] Protein Crystallization System Helps Make this Discovery
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have uncovered the structure of a critical protein from the Ebola Virus that allows viral entry in human cells.
"This structure reveals how this critical piece of the virus is assembled and helps explain how the pathogen evades and exploits the human immune system," explained Erica Ollmann Saphire, the Scripps Research scientist who led the five-year effort.
There is currently no cure for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The virus is spread when people come into contact with the bodily fluids of someone who…
