The way two mpox virus proteins change shape as they bind together acts like a switch that starts the process of viral replication, a study led by researchers at the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard ...
Recently, researchers in Dr. Chao Liu and Dr. Ping Zhang's team of Sun Yat-sen University identified a novel target of flavivirus protease NS2B3—diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), a key ...
Researchers have revealed insights into the mechanism of how coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV exploit a host protease called 'cysteine-aspartic protease 6' (caspase-6) for ...
During the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a long string of connected proteins is cleaved apart into individual proteins. This process is interrupted by an FDA-approved drug to treat COVID-19; ...
A research team has computationally designed a synthetic peptide that enables modular detection of the enzymatic activity of coronavirus 3C-like protease (3CLPro), an enzyme essential for viral ...
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed highly potent non-covalent inhibitors of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3-chymotrypsin-like ...
A recent clinical review published in the Indian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in July 2026 reveals that ...
