Big break in finding SARS cure

For those who don't know the current biotech process. First
you need the 2-D sequence information of an agent like a virus
or a bacteria, then you need the 3-D structure information of
the proteins involved in its life-cycle (which require the 2-D
information), then you can do computer aided drug design to deal
with it.
Step by step...
