Structures and functions of coronavirus replication-transcription complexes and their relevance for SARS-CoV-2 drug design

Brandon Malone et al.

Summary: The molecular basis and complexity of coronavirus RNA-synthesizing machinery is still not fully understood. Recent research has focused on deciphering and understanding the structures, functions, and interactions of the subunits involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription. Both viral and host factors play a crucial role in coordinating RNA translation, replication, and transcription, making them potential targets for antiviral therapy.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells

Cody B. Jackson et al.

Summary: The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is facilitated by the interaction between the viral spike protein and ACE2, leading to virus-cell membrane fusion, which has been extensively studied at the structural and cellular levels worldwide. This understanding has paved the way for the development of effective vaccines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Nickel import and export in the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori, perspectives from molecular modelling

Giulia Camporesi et al.

Summary: The uptake and extrusion of essential metal ions are crucial processes for all living beings, with Helicobacter pylori's dependence on nickel being particularly important. The molecular details of Ni(II) homeostasis in the human body are not yet fully known. This study provides a structural framework for understanding the machinery of Ni(II) import/export in H. pylori and discusses differences between structural models obtained using neural network-based approaches and traditional user-driven modeling procedures.

Molecular mechanism of inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 cell entry facilitator TMPRSS2 with camostat and nafamostat

Tim Hempel et al.

Summary: The study elucidates the molecular mechanism of camostat and nafamostat inhibiting the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into human lung cells and provides a model of the drugs binding to TMPRSS2. Nafamostat is found to have a higher propensity to form a stable covalent enzyme-substrate intermediate compared to camostat, explaining its higher potency.
