Abstract
•
We found potential amyloidogenic fragment in NSP7 SARS-CoV2 protein in silico
•
NSP7 (52–62) fragment is able to form amyloid-like fibrils
•
The possibility of using such a peptide as the basis for an antiviral drug is discussed
期刊介绍:
BBA Proteins and Proteomics covers protein structure conformation and dynamics; protein folding; protein-ligand interactions; enzyme mechanisms, models and kinetics; protein physical properties and spectroscopy; and proteomics and bioinformatics analyses of protein structure, protein function, or protein regulation.
