Broadly ...As a chronically replicating virus, HIV has evolved extreme sequence variability and effective shielding of functionally constrained spike protein determinants by host-derived glycans. Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), though rare, can be isolated from people living with HIV, revealing conserved Env sites as key targets for vaccine development. One such target is the apex of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) spike. Here, we identified a vaccination strategy using heterologous HIV Env trimers covalently coupled to liposomes for multivalent display that resulted in the elicitation of cross-neutralizing HIV serum antibody responses in all immunized non-human primates (NHPs). Critically, we isolated a set of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that cross-neutralized multiple divergent HIV clinical isolates. High-resolution cryoEM structural analysis of mAbs from three different NHPs demonstrated that they targeted the Env trimer apex in a manner remarkably similar to that of the human infection-elicited, apex-directed bNAb PG9, representing a substantial advance in HIV vaccine development.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
