People power: How India is attempting to slow the coronavirus

Like many nations, India does not have enough kits to test most of its population for the new coronavirus. The country is instead relying on people power: thousands of health-care workers are fanning out across the country to trace and quarantine people who might have had contact with those with COVID-19. People are typically only tested if they develop symptoms.
Countries such as South Korea isolated infected people based on widespread testing, but some scientists say that India’s mass-surveillance approach could achieve a similar goal, and be relevant for other low- and middle-income countries facing kit shortages.

How does COVID-19 kill? Uncertainty is hampering doctors’ ability to choose treatments



How does COVID-19 kill? Uncertainty over whether it is the virus itself — or the response by a person’s immune system — that ultimately overwhelms a patient’s organs, is making it difficult for doctors to determine the best way to treat patients who are critically ill with the coronavirus.

Clinical data suggest that the immune system plays a part in the decline and death of people infected with the new coronavirus, and this has spurred a push for treatments such as steroids that rein in that immune response. But some of these treatments act broadly to suppress the immune system, stoking fears that they could actually hamper the body’s ability to keep the viral infection in check.

Structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from COVID-19 virus



A novel coronavirus (COVID-19 virus) outbreak has caused a global pandemic resulting in tens of thousands of infections and thousands of deaths worldwide. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp, also named nsp12) is the central component of coronaviral replication/transcription machinery and appears to be a primary target for the antiviral drug, remdesivir. We report the cryo-EM structure of COVID-19 virus full-length nsp12 in complex with cofactors nsp7 and nsp8 at 2.9-Å resolution. In addition to the conserved architecture of the polymerase core of the viral polymerase family, nsp12 possesses a newly identified β-hairpin domain at its N terminus. A comparative analysis model shows how remdesivir binds to this polymerase. The structure provides a basis for the design of new antiviral therapeutics targeting viral RdRp.

How does a Coronavirus Test Work?



The most widely used test uses polymerase chain reaction or PCR, a technique invented in the 1980s. Central to PCR is its ability to “amplify” DNA — multiply genetic material into large enough quantities to analyse. In the case of the coronavirus, the virus’ RNA first needs to be converted to DNA using an enzyme called reversetranscriptase before putting samples into a PCR machine. Samples collected in throat and nasal swabs are mixed with reagents, which are particles that bind to the virus’s genetic material to ensure no other type of DNA in the sample is amplified. Next, the sample is placed in the PCR machine, which uses cycles of heating and cooling to help the reagents amplify the target DNA into millions of copies. A fluorescent dye is added — the dye glows if the result is positive.

Mutant enzyme could vastly improve recycling of plastic bottles



Recycling isn’t as guilt-free as it seems. Only about 30% of the plastic that goes into soda bottles gets turned into new plastic, and it often ends up as a lower strength version. Now, researchers report they’ve engineered an enzyme that can convert 90% of that same plastic back to its pristine starting materials. Work is underway to scale up the technology and open a demonstration plant next year.
“This is a huge step forward,” says John McGeehan, who directs the center for enzyme innovation at the University of Portsmouth and who was not involved with the work.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the world’s most commonly used plastics, with some 70 million tons produced annually. PET bottles are already recycled in many places. But the current approach has problems. For starters, recycling companies typically end up with a broad mix of different colors of the plastic. They then use high temperatures to melt those down, producing a gray or black plastic starting material that few companies want to use to package their products.
