In the hope that this is the thread to ask questions of the researchers: Are existing
antivirals tested on open pandemics. https://www.folio.ca/antiviral-used-to-treat-...cov-2-u-of-a-researchers/ |

In the hope that this is the thread to ask questions of the researchers: Are existing antivirals tested on open pandemics. https://www.folio.ca/antiviral-used-to-treat-...cov-2-u-of-a-researchers/ Here are some quotes from the research team's most recent post to their website: "While there are several commercial sources for compounds, we decided to simulate not only molecules that are available for purchase, but also molecules that can be made by modifying existing ones." "At the moment, WCG volunteers are simulating a library of 37 million compounds containing the acrylamide warhead which is specific to cysteine residues. New compounds will be added to the library in the upcoming months." You can learn more about the chemical compounds, protein targets, and molecular docking process for OpenPandemics here on the Forli Lab website. |
