IIT Guwahati researchers discover p30 protein's RNA-destroying role in African Swine Fever Virus, aiding potential therapies.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have discovered the RNA-destroying function of the p30 protein in the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). The p30 protein plays a crucial role in the attachment of the virus to host cells and facilitates membrane fusion. Understanding the function of this protein can guide future research on therapies targeting these viral mechanisms and inform potential new ways to combat ASFV infections.
