   Abstract : Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. READ MORE

4. 3. Structure-based design of new antiviral substances against the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

   Author : Elin Öberg; [2022]
   Keywords : x-ray crystallography; protein crystallization; Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus; structure-based drug design; applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is a highly infectious alphavirus responsible for severe outbreaks and epidemics in the Americas. The nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2) cysteine protease plays a fundamental role in the VEEV replication process, and is therefore, an attractive drug target for structure-based drug design using x-ray crystallography.
