Rotavirus: Protein Synthesis Gone Wrong
This is a web site created by Biology 181 Honors students
at the University of Arizona.
It was created to explain the results of Recognition of the Rotavirus mRNA 3' Consensus by an Asymmetric NSP3 Homodimer, written by Rahul C. Deo, Caroline M. Graft, K. R. Rajashankar and Stephen K. Burley from the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics and Howard Hughes Medical Institute The Rockefeller University.
Our very patient and kind Mentor was Megan McEvoy, an assistant professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the University of Arizona. Her focus is the structure and function of protein complexes.
Rotavirus image was modified from Three-dimensional Structural Studies on Macromolecular Assemblies in Connection with Pathogenesis of Viruses that Cause Gastroenteritis: Rotavirus, Calicivinus, and Norwalk Viruses. By B.V. Venkataram Prasad, Ph.D.
