In thiol-mediated uptake, dynamic covalent exchange with thiols on the cell surface precedes entry through different mechanisms. Inhibition of thiol-mediated uptake by removal of exofacial thiols could thus afford new antivirals. Credit: © UNIGE/MATILE
Some viruses can get inside cells via a mechanism that involves sulfur organic molecules. Chemists at UNIGE have discovered effective inhibitors and blocked the uptake of SARS-CoV-2.
The cell membrane is impermeable to viruses: to get inside and infect…
