New crown pneumonia during a pandemic scientific cooperation: open the future new model?

Work together, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis to understand the structure of the new champions league pneumonia virus, is the key to find treatments.

Covid - 19 - the establishment of the NMR alliance for the new crown pneumonia pandemic threat to the needs of the rapid response.Early outbreak, the researchers realized that success against the spread of the virus is a key factor to collaborate on a global scale, subvert the traditional mode, and instantly share the achievements of science.

Seminar introduction

To overcome the key is to understand the structure of the new champions league pneumonia virus, and Covid - 19 - NMR alliance's goal is to change the way scientific cooperation, break down barriers, works in a transparent and internationalization, thus to achieve faster results.Union using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to analyze the RNA and protein composition and structure of the virus.The purpose of the study has two aspects: first, by supporting the development of effective antiviral drugs, found a new crown pneumonia treatments;Secondly, by understanding why viral protein structure change, investigating the influence of the virus.
