人类肠道病毒71型是一种引起手足口病的小RNA病毒(picornavirus),会在儿童中引起可能致命的脑肿胀和瘫痪。现在,科学家们获得了肠道病毒71型与其抑制剂结合的精确结构,将帮助人们开发药物治疗这种病毒感染。文章发表在本周的美国《国家科学院院刊》(PNAS)杂志上。
Human enterovirus 71 is a picornavirus that causes hand-foot-mouth disease and causes potentially lethal brain swelling and paralysis in children. Now scientists get the precise structure of enterovirus 71 combined with its inhibitors, will help people develop drugs to treat this viral infection. The article is published in this week’s PNAS issue in the United States.
