    Author Correction: Cryo-EM of the dynamin polymer assembled on lipid membrane

    In Figs. 2b and 3d of this Letter, the labels ‘Dynamin 1’ and ‘Overlay’ were inadvertently swapped. This has been corrected online.

    Cryo-EM of the dynamin polymer assembled on lipid membrane

    Membrane fission is a fundamental process in the regulation and remodelling of cell membranes. Dynamin, a large GTPase, mediates membrane fission by assembling around, constricting and cleaving the necks of bu...

    Uncleaved prefusion-optimized gp140 trimers derived from analysis of HIV-1 envelope metastability

    The trimeric HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) is critical for host immune recognition and neutralization. Despite advances in trimer design, the roots of Env trimer metastability remain elusive. Here we inves...

    Approaching rational epitope vaccine design for hepatitis C virus with meta-server and multivalent scaffolding

    Development of a prophylactic vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been hampered by the extraordinary viral diversity and the poor host immune response. Scaffolding, by grafting an epitope onto a hetero...

    Supersite of immune vulnerability on the glycosylated face of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120

    Some broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 recognize glycan-dependent epitopes on gp120. Now X-ray crystallography and EM approaches, along with functional analyses, reveal how one particular antibody (PGT1...
