Researchers develop quinoline-based drug with inhibitory activity against the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro).

As scientists, we often think we understand a virus—its structure, its tricks ... A recent finding in Nature showed that the ...

The Remarkable and Mysterious Coronavirus Genome The SARS-CoV-2 genome is a strand of RNA that is about 29,900 bases long--near the limit for RNA viruses. Influenza has about 13,500 bases ...

The model can predict which mutations are likely to occur by looking for mutations that cause only small changes in the protein's structure and function. This is important because, in most cases, ...

But it was long unclear whether RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, perform a similar stunt, Wenbo Li, a biochemist at the University of Texas’ Health Science Center, tells The Scientist. Now, in a ...

It’s the same when doctors, researchers and epidemiologists fight any virus: The physical structure of its molecules dictate ... Kuhn studies are becoming more of an outbreak risk. The SARS-CoV-2 ...
