There's been recent reports of the crystal structure of #COVID19. But now the crystal structure of the antibody, derived from a patient who recovered, w/ implications for vaccine devp't https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/early/2020/04/02/science.abb7269.full.pdf So proud of my colleagues @scrippsresearch h/t @hholdenthorp
Structural biology rocks. It’s moving at warp speed, racing vs the virus.
Towards a vaccine vs #COVID19
A superb piece @PNASNews by @lynnepeeps

Quick summary: Not so fast. It's damn challenging
Expert input from @angie_rasmussen @mlipsitch @PeterHotez and others
The basic science community has seized upon developing #3D models of both the #COVID19 virus components & antibody.
