Washington [US], May 11 (ANI): Researchers have improved a method in rodent models intended to help keep children healthy by engineering a short chunk of protein, or peptide, that can prevent the attachment of human parainfluenza viruses to cells.
Human parainfluenza viruses, or HPIVs, are the leading cause of childhood respiratory infections, responsible for 30 per cent to 40 per cent of illnesses like croup and pneumonia. The viruses also affect the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. The researchers published their findings in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. ....

The anti-viral peptide is made up of three corkscrews (in green), which lock around the virus’s fusion protein (in orange) to prevent the virus from entering cells. The Gellman lab added unique beta amino acids to the peptide (in purple) in a way that didn’t interfere with this crucial interaction and made the peptide more stable. Images by Victor Outlaw.
