Zinc research hints at AIDS drug and vaccine paths
University of Maryland Baltimore County chemist Michael Summers reports zinc binds a viral protein essential to AIDS replication. If drugs could alter or mask zinc, infectious material may be blocked in new virus cells, opening a possible route to vaccines or treatments. The work, published in Biochemistry, parallels AZT development and advances a new research avenue.
