Description:
Monica Rosas Lemus, PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases (CSGID), Feinberg School of Medicine, will discuss Northwestern High Throughput Analysis Core (NU-HTA) - enabled research on metal ions and a unique insert she and fellow collaborators identified that enables efficient RNA capping by the SARS-CoV-2 2-O-methyltransferase.
The team’s findings, featured in last month’s issue of Science Signaling, suggest this site as a potential target for the design of coronavirus-specific methyltransferase inhibitors.
The program will take place online and in person at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, Robert H Lurie Medical Research Center, 303 E Superior St, Chicago, Searle Seminar Room (1-161)
Light snacks will be served.
