Characterizing the interactions between influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses and their implications for epidemic control

Abstract Pathogen-pathogen interactions represent a critical but little-understood feature of infectious disease dynamics.In particular, experimental evidence suggests that influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) compete with each other, such that infection with one confers temporary protection against the other.However, such interact

Why is interoperability between the two fields of chemical crystallography and protein crystallography so difficult?

The interoperability of chemical and biological crystallographic data is a Dress key challenge to research and its application to pharmaceutical design.Research attempting to combine data from the two disciplines, small-molecule or chemical crystallography (CX) and macromolecular crystallography (MX), will face unique challenges including variation
