A powerful AI model called Deep Novel Mutation Search (DNMS) predicts virus mutations more accurately and efficiently than ...

It's been five years since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. As SARS-CoV-2 shifts to endemic status, questions about ...

However, mutations in the spike protein can alter its structure, reducing the effectiveness of these inhibitors. The team was ...

Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 use sugar molecules to hide from the immune system, but scientists at Scripps Research have designed ...

Sugar coatings aren't only for candies; they also help viruses, like the ones that cause COVID-19, hide from their hosts' ...

The universal vaccine can protect one from multiple coronaviruses, even those causing the flu and common cold, and eliminate ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors.

Being sugar-coated doesn’t just help the medicine go down, as the song goes, but it can also help a virus evade the immune ...

However, mutations in the spike protein can alter its structure, reducing the effectiveness of these inhibitors. The team was led by Professor Yoshinori Fujiyoshi and Project Assistant Professor ...

He adds that the high rate of mutation seen in the SARS-CoV-2 virus -- specifically, the receptor binding domain on the virus' spike protein -- has led to an unprecedented number of COVID-19 ...
