Researchers describe structure of SARS-CoV-2 proteins suitable for design of new drugs

(Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague)) Group of researchers at IOCB Prague determined and analyzed the precise structure of the Nsp16 and Nsp10 protein complex of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. They identified several fundamental characteristics, which can be targeted by inhibitors that suppress the activity of the Nsp16 and Nsp10 protein complex and may, in the future, serve as drugs to combat many coronaviruses.
