New Lessons in dengue virus structure and composition and their influence on vaccine strategies
Richard Kuhn

I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Dr. Kuhn where I work and he is fantastically animated and I very much enjoyed listening to what he had to say.
The structure of dengue has been known for more than 10 years via cryo-electron microscopy; however now with more sophisticated tools we can see the virus in ways unimaginable in the past. His group employed a variety of structure and biochemical tools to probe the structure of the dengue virion as well as conformation, composition and dynamics..
Lets look at some particles...
