Coronavirus COVID-19

A novel coronavirus was found to be the cause of a respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019. 3D structural studies are aiding scientists to understand how the coronavirus infects humans and helping to find new ways to treat the viral spread (video by Fusion Animation).

Structure of Anticancer Ruthenium Half-Sandwich Complex Bound to Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3ß

G Atilla-Gocumen, L Di Costanzo, E Meggers. J Biol Inorg Chem. 2010 doi: 10.1007/s00775-010-0699-x
A crystal structure of an organometallic half-sandwich ruthenium complex bound to glycogen synthase kinase 3ß (GSK-3ß) reveals that the inhibitor binds to the ATP binding site via an induced fit mechanism utilizing several hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Importantly, the metal is not involved in any direct interaction with the protein kinase but fulfills a purely structural role.

You Are What You Eat!

Above is an integral membrane protein that takes up, into your intestinal cells, orally consumed peptide nutrients and drugs. Its lumen-face (top) opens and binds peptide or drug (small solid object in the center), then closes, while its cytoplasmic face (bottom) opens to release its cargo into the intestinal cell, which passes it on to the blood circulation.
