Achilles heel of Coronavirus
SARS-CoV-2 is critically dependent on a special mechanism for the production of its proteins. A collaborative team led by a research group at ETH Zurich obtained molecular insights into this process and demonstrated that it can be inhibited by chemical compounds, thereby significantly reducing viral replication in infected cells.
Viruses require the resources of an infected cell to replicate and then infect further cells, and transfer to other individuals. One essential step in the viral life cycle is production of new viral proteins based on the instructions in the viral RNA genome. Based on these construction plans, the cell’s own protein synthesis machine, called the ribosome, produces the viral proteins.
