Abstract
Led by Anja Bielinsky, PhD, professor of biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics, this study will determine how the host enzyme DDX1 physically interacts with the N-protein. "Blocking the interaction between N-protein and DDX1 will be useful for the development of therapeutic agents that disrupt the life cycle of CoV," said Bielinsky.
