Attachment of ω-alkynyl chains characteristic of the lipid tails of antiparasitic peptides to the -position of anisomycin gave ethers exhibiting potent activity, rivalling that of the parent ribosomal inhibitor, especially against resistant strains. Single-particle cryoelectron microscopy analysis revealed that -propargyl anisomycin binds to the highly conserved peptidyl transferase center of the ribosome similar to the parent inhibitor. Thermal proteomic profiling and gene ontology analysis demonstrated that -propargyl anisomycin exhibited a broader mode of action, including activity against glycosome-associated proteins. Alkynyl substituents improved antiparasitic activity against resistant strains, likely by enlarging the mode of action, offering a novel path toward therapy against trypanosomatid infections.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
