Prog Nucl Magn Reson Spectrosc. 2015 Apr;86-87C:21-40
Authors: Quinn CM, Lu M, Suiter CL, Hou G, Zhang H, Polenova T
Abstract
Viruses, relatively simple pathogens, are able to replicate in many living organisms and to adapt to various environments. Conventional atomic-resolution structural biology techniques, X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy provided abundant information on the structures of individual proteins and...

Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
There is neither vaccine nor cure for the Ebola virus, which causes fatal haemorrhagic fever in humans. However, a new NMR spectroscopic study by US researchers scientists has led to the discovery of a family of small molecules that apparently bind to the outer protein coat of the virus and halt its entry into human cells, so offering the possibility of an antiviral medication against the disease.
