SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein identified as target for antiviral drugs
Comparison of the SARS-CoV-2 genome with other betacoronaviruses can provide useful information on how drugs targeting other coronaviruses may improve outcomes for COVID-19 patients. The analysis was presented in a July 27 Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology article.

SARS-CoV-2 disguises its own genetic material to facilitate infection
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is able to camouflage itself to promote viral replication, as revealed by structural details of proteins on the surface of the virus. Researchers discovered an enzyme that they believe could be an important target for antiviral drug development, according to a July 14 Nature Communications report.

Addressing the COVID-19 challenge with computer modeling & simulation
Each day, we wake up hoping for positive news about vaccines and therapies to combat COVID-19. More than 70 candidate molecules are being evaluated for repurposing to treat COVID-19. This number will grow thanks to the use of new combination therapies discovered under an aggressive, disciplined, and quantitative approach to evaluating candidates called model-informed drug development.
