[Research Advances in VP16 of the Herpes Virus]
Abstract:
Viral protein(VP)16is an important tegument protein of the herpes virus. It is involved in early transcription activation of viral genes as well as virion assembly and release in host cells.VP16 of some herpes viruses have deubiquitinating protease activity and can help the virus counteract the host immune response. In this review, we explain the function and complex interactions between VP16 and other proteins based of the structural characteristics of VP16.This summary provides a reference for further research of maturation of the herpes virus as well as interactions between VP16 and other proteins.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
