Researchers reveal the inner workings of a viral DNA-packaging motor

Researchers have discovered the inner workings of the molecular motor that packages genetic material into double-stranded DNA viruses. The advance provides insight into a critical step in the reproduction cycle of viruses such as pox, herpes, and adenoviruses. It could also inspire researchers to create microscopic machines based on naturally occurring motors. The U.S. National...
