SCIENTISTS in Singapore believe they have uncovered the inner workings of the SARS virus, which will help them develop drugs to fight the next wave of attacks.
A year of hard work by 10 researchers from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology here has culminated in what could be the world’s first scientific work uncovering two unique proteins within the virus. These proteins are believed to be responsible for producing the nasty results, such as severe lung damage, in people who get SARS.
