Atomic Structures of Flu, Measles, Mumps and RSV Mapped
The 3D atomic structure of a key complex in paramyxoviruses, a family of viruses that includes mumps, human parainfluenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), have been determined. This information could help design and development of antiviral drugs for these viruses as well as for coronavirus, which functions similarly to paramyxoviruses.
