Abstract
Molecular biology took the center stage at the Second International Coronavirus Symposium held in 1983. Much of the discussion focused on the structure and synthesis of virus-specific RNAs, and viral structural proteins, particularly envelope glycoproteins. At that time, the application of recombinant DNA technology to coronavirus research was just beginning to change the direction of studies in this field. This trend became even more evident in the Third International Coronavirus Symposium in 1986, as a vast body of sequence data was presented. These data not only provided a deeper understanding of the viral RNAs and their genes, but also revealed many details of viral structural proteins, complementing the studies of protein biochemistry. This sequence information has also contributed significantly to our understanding of coronavirus pathogenesis and facilitated future development of effective coronavirus vaccines.
