Zombie Slayers: How Peptoid Antivirals Target and Tear Apart Virus Membranes

Researchers have developed a peptoid-based antiviral therapy that mimics the immune system to target viruses effectively, showing promise against three distinct viruses in laboratory tests by disrupting their membrane lipids. Just as bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance, viruses can also evade drug treatments. Developing therapies against these microbes is difficult because viruses often mutate or [...]
