According to the German portal Merkur cited scientists from the University of Tũbingen, it is the enzyme guanylate kinase 1 (GK1).

Experts have created a computer model of the virus, which discovered that when entering a cell, the virus’s element captures the cell to produce certain substances that infect the cell. One of these is the enzyme GK1.

Researchers conducted experiments to remove this enzyme from cells. By doing this, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 stopped.

Scientist Andreas Draeger notes that the presence of the enzyme guanylate kinase 1 in the body does not affect health in any way. Therefore, it is possible to temporarily suspend its production in the body without fear of being affected. Experts from the Fraunhofer Research Institute in Hamburg are now exploring how to do this.

Before that, American scientists had explained how Covid-19 not only harms the lungs but also other organs. Through experiments on mice, researchers have found the cause of the serious symptoms: SARS-CoV-2 causes the production of metabolic energy in the cells of the heart, kidneys and spleen. is stopped.
