The virus that causes COVID-19 continues to mutate. Scientists say that's likely to continue indefinitely, and the virus will ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with ... like the ones Kuhn studies are becoming more of an outbreak risk. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of the ...

SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: COVID-19 myths have spread just about as quickly as the disease itself, but one myth in particular just won't go away: that SARS-CoV-2, the virus ...

The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect ... “We simulated the electronic structure of the ...

A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially prioritizing increased transmissibility to enhanced immune evasion ...

But to some, the coronavirus outbreak is reminiscent of epidemics that have caused a panic in recent memory, including SARS, MERS, the Zika virus, and swine flu. So how exactly does the ...

Noda and Hashiguchi began working together shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began, and are now trying uncover the atomic structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to better understand its pathogenesis.

There was a second, much smaller outbreak of SARS in 2004, linked to a medical lab in China. It probably occurred as a result of direct contact with the virus, rather than being transmitted from ...

In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV ... Scripps Research scientists have analyzed the structure and stability of a critical RSV and hMPV protein ...
