Journal ArticleDOI

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic derivative of chloroquine, is effective in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro

TL;DR: Evaluated the antiviral effect of HCQ against SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to CQ in vitro and concluded that CQ appears to be the drug of choice for large-scale use due to its availability, proven safety record, and a relatively low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein disulfide-isomerase, a folding catalyst and a redox-regulated chaperone.

TL;DR: The structural features of PDI are highlighted, including the high interdomain flexibility, the multiple binding sites, the two synergic active sites, and the redox-dependent conformational changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insights into the peroxidase activity and inactivation of human peroxiredoxin 4

TL;DR: Either deletion of the YF motif or dissociation into dimers decreased the susceptibility of Prx4 to overoxidation by increasing the flexibility of Cys87, and the structural explanation for the restricting role of theYF motif on the active site dynamics is provided.
