What does Corona Virus Mean? Coronavirus  derives from the Latin which means Crown, as it is in shape of a sphere but covered in spikes, which resembles a crown. It has emerged from the Wuhan in China. As it continues to spread around the world, scientists are striving to develop ways of fighting this previously unknown threat. Computer Modelling is being used to track and predict its transmission, while virologists are attempting to engineer a vaccine while others are seeking drug treatments that can help those who fall ill with the infection. Coronavirus belong to a large group of viruses that can infect both humans and animals and can occasionally jump the species barrier. But while the first cases likely occurred in people who had close contact with infected animals, it seems that most new cases from this 2019-nCoV are being passed human to human. Some of the most common and challenging diseases are caused by coronaviruses. One of th...

Protein Engg Meet 2020  is an excellent opportunity to interact with the world class Scientists, delegates from   Institutes and   Universities. Protein Engineering Conference is to ameliorate the knowledge, awareness, and education on Protein leading to the discovery of Genetic and others related to life sciences which aid to alleviate the emerging technology in the eyes of Medical, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Academia.  What is Protein Design? Protein design  is the area of research that has wide applications in drug design, medicine, and advancing the study of protein folding. Methods in Protein Design : Traditional  protein design Structure-based  protein design Testing computational  protein design APPROACH IN THE PROTEIN DESIGN:          Direct approach         Practical protein design approach Recent Examples of Protein designs: ...
