The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still threatening humankind. Despite first successes in vaccine development and approval, no antiviral treatment available for COVID-19 patients. success further tarnished by the emergence spreading of mutation variants SARS-CoV-2, which some vaccines have lower efficacy. This highlights urgent need therapies even more. article describes how genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) host-virus interaction human alveolar macrophages was refined incorporating latest information about virus's structural proteins mutant B.1.1.7, B.1.351, B.1.28, B.1.427/B.1.429, B.1.617. We confirmed initially identified guanylate kinase as a potential target with this targets from purine pyrimidine metabolism. extended virus' lipid requirements. opened new perspectives altered Especially phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis seems to play pivotal role viral replication. robust all investigated currently worldwide. These insights can guide laboratory experiments validation targets. Only combination will effectively defeat ongoing pandemic.

Integrative modeling is an increasingly important tool in structural biology, providing structures by combining data from varied experimental methods and prior information. As a result, molecular architectures of large, heterogeneous, dynamic systems, such as the ∼52-MDa Nuclear Pore Complex, can be mapped with useful accuracy, precision, completeness. Key challenges improving integrative include expanding model representations, increasing variety input information, quantifying match between information Bayesian fashion, inventing more efficient sampling, well developing better validation, analysis, visualization. In addition, two community-level are being addressed under auspices Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB). First, impact maximized PDB-Development, prototype wwPDB repository for archiving, validating, visualizing, disseminating structures. Second, scope biology expanded linking resource archives that have not been generally used structure determination but computing structures, various types mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, optical microscopy, proteomics, genetics.
