Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata 3-Dimensional modeling of Protein structure can provide us with lots of insights on its functions and interactions. Researchers from Stanford University, California utilized this technique to study the receptor-binding domain of SARS-coV-2. This discovery could help in drug development and the prediction of future outbreaks. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has changed […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata The SARS-CoV-2 virus can infect a cell by the interaction between the viral spike protein and the human cell surface protein ACE2. It binds with ACE2 using receptor-binding domains (RBDs) which are finger-like protrusions. Therefore, by blocking these receptors, the viral entry into human cells can be stopped and this can be […]
