The sustained ongoing transmission for the disease has become critical as China, Iran, South Korea and most of the European countries are experiencing level 3 transmission rates. Vaccines and treatments are the need of the hour.
As we now have a better understanding of the structure and mode of transmission of the virus, here is a look at some of the major breakthroughs in this avenue against the viral threat: COVID-19. Structure of COVID-19 Scientists are exploring various avenues to tackle the virulent nature of the disease, like determining the structure of the COVID-19 virus to venture into the production of vaccines to counteract the condition. So far, researchers are convinced by the findings that the spike glycoprotein in the SARS-CoV-2 binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter into the…
