Techniques to realise ebola virus proteins

Techniques to realise ebola virus proteins


by Alfred Obi


When having a look at a virus it is important to comprehend the proteins that make up its components. The Ebola pathogen proteins contain building blocks for seven differing kinds of proteins. The ways that these proteins function is a component of what makes the Ebola pathogen so dangerous.

The Ebola pathogen proteins share functions with one or two other sorts of viruses. The most virulent of these viruses is the HIV virus. This similarity is thankfully restricted to the glycoprotein or surface of the Ebola virus. The function that it performs is making the immunity mechanism blind to the virus so it can continue its path of elimination through the body.

These likenesses in the Ebola pathogen proteins are allowing scientists to look for cures in similar viruses. Having a look at the protein structure of the virus enables scientists to try and find how to deconstruct the proteins in the search for a cure. Understanding the cell structure of the virus is often the key to understanding the best way to unmake the pathogen.

When taking a look at the protein structure scientists are commonly looking at the glycoprotein. This is because the closeness to the outer surface of the bacteria makes it accessible to natural antibodies. This makes it the best target for any cure that would help the bodies own immunological reaction. Due to this much research is being targeted on this actual protein.

The biggest problem for understanding the protein structure of any virus is the changing roles of proteins. With limited room inside their genomes viruses often have proteins that perform multiple roles. This makes it tricky to isolate or deconstruct the protein as scientists have to account for all possible combinations of protein usage.

In the war against ebola the lego bricks contained in the virus' proteins may hold the answer to the cure. Understanding the way these proteins interact and their purposes can give us more understanding to the pathogen. Current research that concentrates on these proteins is busily trying to develop drugs and other treatments to handle this deadly virus.
