Scientists have found a "weak point" of the coronavirus Apr 15, 2020 | 11:01 / Interesting information

British scientists have concluded that the coronavirus membrane is not as thick as other dangerous viruses.

Milli.Az reports with reference to oxu.az, experts claim that in this case it is possible to teach the human body to overcome the coronavirus.

As we know, coronavirus attaches to cells through S-proteins. These proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are covered by small carbohydrate molecules called glycans. Because of them, the human immune system can not recognize "uninvited guests". However, there are "holes" in the virus that are not covered with glycans.

"Because of carbohydrates, the virus behaves like a 'secret'. However, we have learned that it does not do so well compared to other viruses. " - said Mark Crispin, one of the authors of the study.

According to him, once the "weak point" of the coronavirus is revealed, researchers will find more effective ways to struggle with it.
