COVID-19: Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Diseases – Year XIV
EMSL Project ID
51713
Abstract
The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 through-out the world and its life-changing impact on the day-to-day lives of Americans punctuate the need to be ever cautious of the emergence of new epidemic infectious diseases. COVID-19, along with the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of infectious agents, makes developing new drugs to combat emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases of upmost importance. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has identified the need to prepare a library of three-dimensional protein structures of potential drug targets that may be used for the structure-based design of new drugs. Towards populating this library NIAID has established two structural genomics centers: The Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Disease (CSGID) and the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID). The high-field suite of NMR spectrometers at EMSL will assist the population of the structure library with the high-field NMR data used to determine the solution structure for 2-3 proteins identified as potential drug targets.
