Netherlands researchers draw . a graph structure and composition of the hepatitis b virus
Netherlands University Utrecht researchers use a newly developed technology of spraying, drawing out the structure and composition of the hepatitis b virus. The study is published in the latest issue of the United States Academy and the journal of applied chemistry, scientists further understand and fight against hepatitis b infection. Research methods can also be used for the analysis of terrorists might use biological weapons contained a virus.
in order to better understand and combat infection, it is necessary to carefully check for viruses at the molecular level. Scientists will use mass spectrometer technology to identify molecules, this technology can also be used to paint traces of identification in forensic investigation. Mass spectrometer technology in particular are good at identifying small molecules, but the virus is too large to be using the standard approach to making it happen.
the use of the improved type mass spectrometer technology, researchers observe the structure and composition of the hepatitis b virus. In the spectrometer, complemented by researchers not only viruses of different shapes, also observed the molecular structure of the virus, which makes future production against possible virus infection by blocking viruses.
