COVID19-NMR

Our Screening paper “Exploring the druggability of conserved RNA regulatory elements in the SARS-CoV-2 genome” is now online in Angewandte Chemie. A poised fragment library of 768 compounds was screened for the binding ability to 15 RNA elements of SARS-CoV-2. 69 fragments bound to 13 of 15 RNA elements and three fragments highly specific. Those […]

The 17th EUROMAR 2021 took place from July 5th till 8th this year. Due to the pandemic the conference was set up as a virtual event. Nevertheless, the Opening Ceremony with Prof. Simona Kustec (Minister of Education, Science and Sport, Slovenia), Prof. Gregor Anderluh (Director of National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia), Dr. Falko Busse (Group […]

The work of the Covid19-NMR Consortium was presented by Prof. Harald Schwalbe and Prof. Janez Plavec on the Slovenian national TV. Determining the 3D structure of the SARS-CoV2 proteins and RNAs makes it possible to understand the function of these molecule and determine where and how drugs interact. Using NMR spectroscopy fragments binding to the […]
