In response to popular demand, we have created an update to the Folding@home software that allows you to prioritize COVID-19 projects. We encourage you to upgrade as the new software…
Read moreNEW SIMULATIONS TO SEARCH FOR COVID-19 TREATMENT VIA REPURPOSING EXISTING NTP ANALOG DRUGS THAT TARGET VIRAL RNA REPLICATION
Coronavirus (CoV) has a capsid that envelops the single-stranded RNA genome. Three structural proteins are shown to be associated with the capsid: membrane, envelope, and the spike protein. Chemical compounds…
