A pair of Vanderbilt University researchers are focusing on proteins that may lead to an inside track on battling COVID-19. Envelope proteinssmall membrane proteinshave an important yet unknown role in the development and virulence of multiple coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
“We know this is an important protein because its removal impedes the virus’ ability to infect other cells, but its effect is difficult to couple with its function,” said graduate student James Hutchison. “Between being…
