This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The baculovirus-insect cell expression system has become one of the most widely used eukaryotic expression systems for heterologous protein production in many laboratories. To date, limited data has been presented in the literature to benchmark the protocols used for baculovirus vectors, and this study facilitates the

By fragment screening using x-ray crystallography we identified four ligands revealing ligand-binding sites in conserved interfaces between SARS-CoV-2 nsp10 and nsp14/nsp16. The nsp14/10 interaction is weak and therefore could be disrupted by small molecules. In a collaborative effort, the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3), the FragMAX platform at the BioMAX beamline of the MAX IV laboratory,
