Structural studies of the SARS virus Nsp15 endonuclease and the human innate immunity receptor TLR3 Sun, Jingchuan (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Three-dimensional (3D) structural determination of biological macromolecules is not only critical to understanding their mechanisms, but also has practical applications. Combining the high resolution imaging of transmission ...
