In a new study published Aug. 2 in the journal ACS Infectious Diseases, the researchers show how a group of novel molecules inspired by our own immune system inactivates several viruses, including ...

Dis. 2023, DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.3c00063). Using AMPs against viruses isn’t new, but scientists haven’t successfully managed to use these large, difficult-to-manufacture molecules as drugs.

Antibodies Good. Machine-Made Molecules Better? With help from computer algorithms, researchers designed proteins from scratch that can trounce the coronavirus in lab animals.

Scientific research is “a lot of fun,” Sac State Chemistry Professor Kathie McReynolds insists. But in her lab, it also has a serious purpose. She and her students are studying agents capable of ...

The influenza virus has proven a very tricky foe to fight. Now, researchers at EPFL have developed synthetic molecules that can kill the flu virus by mimicking human cells, and putting the squeeze ...

Novel molecules fight viruses by bursting their bubble-like membranes Targeting the membrane of a virus, rather than its proteins, could lead to a new generation of antivirals ...
