New PC Simulation Can Drive COVID-19 Drug Discovery
Publicado em 08 dezembro 2021An article reporting on the effects of the study was published in the Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics. Proteases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds between amino acids and proteins and break down polyproteins (protein chains) into smaller proteins, which in this virus are used to produce RNA that encodes key structures such as the beak (the component that allows it to invade and infect human cells) and the viral envelope (the outer layer that protects its genetic [...]ver notícia -

Brazilian scientists expand two new COVID-19 tests
Publicado em 24 junho 2021Scientists from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), supported through the Research Support Foundation of the States of São Paulo (FAPESP), have developed two new strategies to identify instances of COVID-19 that can increase mass in Brazil. Both tests detect the virus through saliva and are very sensitive, as is the reference RT-PCR, and charge at least one-third of the value of an RT-PCR test, which lately has a value of between $60 and $90.
