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 ...

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

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

The new virus discovered in Brazil has a genetic sequence that's about 72 per cent similar to the MERS genome, scientists say. Specifically, its spike protein shares 71.74 per cent similarity with ...

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 new coronavirus discovered in Brazil has a genetic sequence with about 72 per cent similarity to the Mers-CoV genome, scientists say. Specifically, the spike protein of the new virus ...

The team targeted the receptor-binding domain (RBD), a critical region of the spike protein responsible for binding to ACE2 receptors. Because this region is essential for viral function, it is less ...

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% ...

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 ...
