Summary

A homology model for SARS coronavirus fusion core is constructed based on biochemical analysis and the MHV fusion core structure is determined, which proposes an important target site for fusion inhibitor design and several strategies, which have been successfully used in fusion inhibitors design for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), for the treatment of SARS infection.
