Research Follow-Up: Comparing Coronavirus Structures
Researchers in the Kirchdoerfer Lab are identifying which structures are conserved (and which aren’t) across coronaviruses.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Research from the Kirchdoerfer Lab identifies that multiple coronaviruses share protein features in critical viral machinery, suggesting the possibility of antivirals that treat multiple coronaviruses.
