Virus is a supermolecular complex consisting of proteins, nucleic acid, and sometimes lipids. There are many highly pathogenic human RNA viruses such as influenza, Ebola, measles, and rabies virus. Unlike many other viruses with a rigid viral shell, RNA virus with viral envelopes has flexible and fragile structures. Therefore, it has been difficult to clarify the detailed structure of the RNA viruses, and the assembly of the RNA viruses remain largely unknown. However, recent technological developments in structural biology has been enabling to clarify the structures of difficult biomolecular targets including viruses. By combining the methods in virology and structural biology, I aim to reveal how RNA viruses assemble.
