From Electronic Laboratory Neighborhood - Part 1: SLAS Community Engages in the COVID-19 Fight
SLAS
Read about the SLAS community members who are on the front lines of COVID-19 testing and vaccine development. In part one of a two-part series, meet six individuals who bring their unique skillsets to companies producing diagnostics and equipment that are helping the medical community move closer to resolving the virus behind the pandemic. “Our diverse SLAS community includes talented individuals in academia, business, government, technology, biotech and pharma, and each has a role to play as we navigate SARS-CoV-2,” says SLAS Scientific Director Mike Tarselli.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) is a rapidly evolving threat, and the synthetic DNA that can help discover a vaccine and treatment is needed now — not in eight to ten weeks. SGI-DNA is supporting front-line researchers in combating the spread of COVID-19 by offering $50,000 in co-funding for the BioXp™ 3200 system.

Could Curbing Runaway Immune Responses Treat COVID-19?
The Scientist
Among the many outstanding questions about COVID-19 is how the same virus, SARS-CoV-2, can kill some patients and leave others unaware they were ever exposed. Clinical evidence combined with hints from laboratory research indicate that for at least some patients with severe cases, the primary danger comes from a runaway immune response that irreparably injures tissue, researchers say. Understanding the mechanisms behind that response could be key to finding a treatment for those patients.

NIH Organizes Hunt for Drugs
Science Magazine
In a remarkable display of urgency, researchers are already developing more than 100 treatments and vaccines to stem the COVID-19 pandemic. But some onlookers worry the sprawling effort could waste time and resources on duplicated studies and weak candidates. So, the National Institutes of Health and 16 drug companies announced an effort to impose some order.
In one key activity, the Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines initiative will inventory drug and vaccine candidates and decide which should get priority for U.S. funding and testing in humans.

New Macrolactone Database Could Aid Drug Discovery, Research
Science Daily
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Collaborations Pharmaceuticals have created a free-to-use database of 14,000 known macrolactones — large molecules used in drug development — which contains information about the molecular characteristics, chemical diversity and biological activities of this structural class. The database, called MacrolactoneDB, fills a knowledge gap concerning these molecules and could serve as a useful tool for future drug discovery.

SARS-CoV-2 Likely Uses 2 Nose Cell Types for Entry
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Scientists are racing to understand exactly how SARS-CoV-2 spreads, to help prevent transmission and develop a vaccine. While it is known that SARS-CoV-2 uses a similar mechanism to infect human cells as SARS-CoV — the cause of the 2003 SARS epidemic — the exact cell types involved in the nose had not previously been pinpointed.
Now, a collaborative group of researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University Medical Centre Groningen, and the University Cote d’Azur and CNRS, Nice, have identified two specific cell types in the nose as the likely entry points for the virus.

Researchers Find New Structure for Promising Class of Materials
Lab Manager
Florida State University researchers have discovered a novel structure for organic-inorganic hybrid materials that shows potential for more efficient technologies.
Professor of chemistry and biochemistry Biwu Ma and his team have published a new study in the journal Science Advances that explains how they created a hollow nanostructure for metal halide perovskites that would allow the material to emit a highly efficient blue light. Metal halide perovskites are a material that have shown great potential for photon-related technologies such as light-emitting diodes and lasers, but scientists have still been working to make them more efficient and effective.

Biochemists Unveil Molecular Mechanism for Motor Protein Regulation
Phys.org
Movement signals life, and nowhere is this truer than inside a living cell. The millions of proteins and molecules within each of our cells bend, travel and conform in a complex but orchestrated pattern, regulated by the genes that encode what goes where and when. As part of that pattern, an important class of proteins called dynein transport and deliver various cellular cargoes between different areas of the cell.

Silicon-Carbonyl Complex Is Stable at Room Temperature
Chemical & Engineering News
Transition metals are attractively reactive but can be expensive and toxic. For years, chemists have been probing the reactivity of main-group elements to provide suitable alternatives, but they have not had much luck making carbonyl complexes from non-d-block elements, presumably because of these elements’ lack of π back-bonding orbitals. Now, Stephan Schulz and coworkers at the University of Duisburg-Essen and Justus Liebig University Giessen have synthesized the first known silicon-carbonyl complex that’s stable at room temperature.
