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 proteins or RNAs can be easily identified and the binding affinity subsequently improved.
The interviews can be watched here.
