Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

A new study reveals how targeted electromagnetic waves can disrupt the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, potentially opening doors to innovative disinfection and infection control strategies. Study: ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...

The question of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 continues to occupy scientists, the media, and the public intensely even 5 years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where the virus came from, when and ...

Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 -- a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos -- may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...

In late 2019, an unknown coronavirus made the leap from animals to humans. That incident might have gone unnoticed—except that the virus was able to infect human cells, replicate, and spread rapidly ...

A landmark study shows that bat viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 emerged far from outbreak sites, pointing to the wildlife trade, not natural bat movement, as the most plausible ...

Postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC) can affect many organ systems. However, temporal changes during the coronavirus disease 2019 ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...
