A study led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and UC San Diego has identified previously unknown interactions between SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viral proteins. Disrupting several of these sites reduced viral replication in cell cultures, pointing to possible drug targets that may be less affected by viral evolution.
