Coronavirus proteins under the X-ray microscope: how PETRA III shines light on medicine targets

Synchrotron light has been an important tool in the fight against COVID-19. The bright X-rays produced by PETRA III at DESY have been used to investigate the structures of proteins vital to the virus's reproduction. A look at how synchrotron light helps us find new tools against coronavruses.
