Unusual coronavirus protein is potential drug target to fight COVID-19
“It wasn’t clear how conserved this protein was among coronaviruses, but once we solved the structure, we could look to see if other genes in other coronaviruses are likely to adopt the same fold,” said Stephen Brohawn, one of the senior authors of the study and a UC Berkeley assistant professor of molecular and cell biology. “And it turns out that in all of the coronaviruses that circulate among bats and can infect humans, these 3a proteins exist. So, it could be an even broader possible target than we had thought at the beginning of the project.”
Aaaand, it looks like a pig in a hat (at least to some)

my fav pig pic
When you say "pig picture" I think 'Ahead Rings Out', my favorite pig picture. That is a joint in its mouth. A friend told me. 1969
This was a sleeper of an amazingly great album, quite the cult favorite in its day in Hunt. Bch. The first Mick Abrahams after This Was, with an amazing sax and flute player (Jack Lancaster methinks it was). Wasn't much like it really at the time.

Have a good one!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Thanks for sharing this.... fingers crossed on a result that
leads to new and better treatments!
