Scientists at Michigan
Technological University want to manipulate and better understand the surface
proteins of Porcine Parvovirus. In vaccine purification the interaction between
the virus and the surrounding heterogeneous mixture are important to the
effectiveness of the vaccine. If the viral components fall apart then the
mixture cannot be used as a therapeutic. Also the viruses’ surfaces contain
many co receptors that are important for cell recognition and replication in a
host. The main finding of the paper was improving the computational methods of
viral surface chemistry as compared to the experimental calculations. The
researchers compared the hydrophobicity of PPV to the to other studied models
of viral proteins that can repel and attract water. They focused on the most
accessible area of the PPV virus known as the solvent accessible surface area.
As the viral capsid was too large to look at all the capsid proteins they
focused on VP2, the most abundant one. The strong correlation between
experimental and computational results shows that PPV like other viruses have a
measurable hydrophobicity. This may lead to better techniques to catch viruses
or purify them.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
