A team at the University of Lübeck, Germany, has mapped the 3D structure of the main protease of Sars-CoV-2 using the Berlin synchrotron source, Bessy II. This structural information could support the identification of COVID-19 drug candidates that inhibit the enzyme and impair viral replication.

About the AuthorLauren Robertson
By the time I finished my degree in Microbiology I had come to one conclusion – I did not want to work in a lab. Instead, I decided to move to the south of Spain to teach English. After two brilliant years, I realized that I missed science, and what I really enjoyed was communicating scientific ideas – whether that be to four-year-olds or mature professionals. On returning to England I landed a role in science writing and found it combined my passions perfectly. Now at Texere, I get to hone these skills every day by writing about the latest research in an exciting, creative way.
