Molecule That Stops SARS Invented Date: November 12, 2008 Source: Purdue University Summary: A newly created compound prevents the replication of the virus that causes SARS and could lead to a ...

SARS-CoV-2 uses M Pro to trim viral proteins into usable parts, which the virus then uses to replicate in human cells. Viral proteases have often been the target of attempts to make antiviral ...

The COVID pandemic illustrated how urgently we need antiviral medications capable of treating coronavirus infections. To aid ...

Scientists have identified a molecule that just loves SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.It loves it so much that it “hugs” it, practically to death—binding so tightly to the virus ...

A new molecule designed by ORNL scientists and tested by a multi-institutional team forms a strong chemical bond to the PLpro enzyme in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, disrupting its ability to multiply and ...

Scientists report a small molecule that can stop SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—from replicating in cells and in mice by blocking an enzyme that hasn’t received much attention in ...

Ott had tested hundreds of drug candidates against SARS-CoV-2 by this point. “It’s very challenging to fight viruses in general, let alone SARS-CoV-2, but these new compounds were some of the best, if ...
