‘N protein of Coronavirus plays a critical role in transmission’ May 04, 2021 Not enough to study spike protein alone to develop drugs, says research by IISER Bhopal Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal have demonstrated that proteins from the Covid-19 virus other than the well-known ‘spike protein’ can play a critical role in the infectivity of the virus. The study was led by Dr. Ajit Chande, Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, IISER Bhopal. The results of this work have recently been published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has an RNA genome, surrounded by a sphere-shaped structure. This structure comprises various types of proteins, with one of them being the ‘spike protein’ that gives the virus its characteristic spiked look or ‘crown’. Since the virus is highly infectious, most studies do not use the live virus, but us
