In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or ...

It has been suggested, however, that the actual amino-acid sequence of the membrane-spanning domain is not critical for the activity of viral fusion proteins. We have examined the function of Moloney ...
