Sunday, April 17, 2005 -- Scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot have revealed for the first time the shape of a protein that helps retroviruses, which cause AIDS and cancers such as leukemia, break into cells.

Retroviruses are among the trickier and more malicious disease agents. They manage to sneak into cells with the help of special protein assemblies scattered all over their surfaces. These retrovirus surface proteins cause the membrane ...
