NSTA Engage: Fall20; 3D Molecular Designs - Coronavirus: Science Is the Answer

Through a series of videos and physical models of coronavirus proteins we will explore the molecular mechanism of virus infection, and how a vaccine will produce antibodies that will neutralize the coronavirus spike protein. We will also preview a student modeling program focused on the development of therapeutic nanobodies. Takeaways: 1. Coronavirus in an enveloped virus with spike proteins on its surface; 2. the spike protein plays a critical role in the infection process; and 3. several different strategies are being taken to create a vaccine to inactivate the virus. Speakers Tim Herman (MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling: Milwaukee, WI)
