NMR spectroscopy has been used to investigate how a viral protein in human herpes virus 4 (also known as Epstein-Barr) regulates the activity of a second essential protein and so reveals a possible new target for the development of antiviral drugs against this common infectious agent.

Spaghetti virus: NMR clues to cancer-causing herpes
Spaghetti virus: NMR clues to cancer-causing herpes
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/1446d6b1158.jpgNMR spectroscopy research carried out at Manchester University has revealed that herpes virus proteins are more "spaghetti-like" than previously thought. The discovery hints at possible treatments for a form of the disease that causes the cancer known as Kaposi’s sarcoma.

Herpes 3D: NMR reveals viral protein hijacking
UK scientists have used NMR for the first time to develop a 3D picture of a herpes virus protein interacting with a key part of the human cellular machinery. The study improves our understanding of how the virus hijacks human cells and could eventually lead to new targets for drug therapy.
