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

Texas Children's CVD and their collaborators based their vaccine development on a segment of the SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV spike protein (a protein found on the outside of the virus that interacts with the ...

While carrying out surveillance of bats in Brazil, scientists have identified multiple different coronaviruses, including a ...

All of them carried the DNA sequence encoding MERS-CoV’s characteristic spike-shaped surface proteins, which are produced once the viral vector enters host cells. These are then recognized by ...

The team targeted the receptor-binding domain (RBD), a critical region of the spike protein responsible for binding to ACE2 ...

5. MERS will continue to spread beyond the Middle East. The recent spike in cases is primarily in Saudi Arabia (especially in Jeddah) and the UAE, but - as with other recent outbreaks - it is ...

And now researchers in Sao Paulo and Ceara working with Hong Kong University have found a coronavirus which resembles Mers. The spike protein which is used to attach to host cells has a 71.74% ...
