A protein-RNA Structure Hints at How Viruses Commandeer Human Proteins

Dr. Blanton Tolbert worked with PhD student Christopher Morgan, former PhD student Carrie Rollins and postdoctoral researcher Jeffery Levengood (along with Jennifer Meagher, James Delproposto and Jeanne Stuckey from the University of Michigan) toproduce the first image of an important human protein as it binds with ribonucleic acid (RNA), a discovery that could offer clues to how some viruses, including HIV, control expression of their genetic material.
