A new Covid-19 variant called NB.1.8.1, or Nimbus, represents about a third of new US Covid-19 cases. Dr. Leana Wen answers ...

Most bacterial and viral infections are contagious and spread fast, especially during the rainy season—most people are ...

Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers.

Studies exploring extracellular vesicles (EVs)—microscopic particles released by cells—have uncovered an important piece of information: SARS-CoV-2 RNA was present in EVs in individuals who ...

To this end, a new study that unravels an enzyme essential to the survival of SARS-CoV-2 paves ... crystal structure of nsp14. The enzyme has a crucially important region known as the RNA ...

Through this, we were able to show that the SARS-CoV-2 RNA is highly suitable as a potential target structure for drugs. In view of the large number of SARS-CoV-2 mutations, such conservative RNA ...

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus RNA genome structure was studied in detail by researchers from the University of Groningen, the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw ...

However, the structural information of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein remains unclear. In this article, the authors have determined the 2.7 Å crystal structure of the N-terminal RNA binding ...

Glimpsing the Structure Dr. Li carefully froze the ... Dr. Amaro is gathering the emerging pictures of SARS-CoV-2 proteins and RNA. She and her colleagues then construct virtual viruses on ...

The discovery hinges on a small molecule that latches onto and inhibits a structure in the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome, preventing the virus from pumping out the proteins it uses to replicate and infect ...

Researchers have identified small molecules that target a structure within the RNA genome of SARS-CoV-2, interfering with viral gene expression and targeting the RNA for destruction. SARS-CoV-2 ...
