New PC Simulation Can Drive COVID-19 Drug Discovery
Publicado em 11 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
