and bond very tightly to form the dimer. Dr. Mesecar and his colleagues found that the MERS protease is unusual in that it does not have a strong attraction to its identical proteases
When this bond is formed, the protease has increased an affinity for other 3c-like proteases and creates a stronger bond as it forms its dimer,
explained Dr. Mesecar. This also was the site the team was targeting with an inhibitor molecule.

and Wind Incentives Permanent President Obama just unveiled a $3. 99 trillion budget for 2016 that asks Congress for a permanent extension of tax credits for the solar and wind industry.
The current policy which includes an expiration of tax credits in 2017 is encouraging a boom in solar installations this year and next.
In a section titled Improving Incentives for Research and Clean energy the 2016 budget proposal includes a request for $7. 4 billion for clean energy technologies along with a shopping list of funding and incentives for the renewable sector
or enact permanent extensions of the tax credits the proposal signals that the administration will support some preservation of the solar Investment Tax credit (ITC) and the wind power Production Tax credit (PTC).
The ITC a tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of solar installations is slated to step down to 10 percent at the end of 2016.
The PTC negotiations will be part of a larger tax extenders bill coming up later this year.
when it would come up as part of a tax-reform effort. The U s. Department of energy provides about 75 percent of the clean energy technology funding.
The 2016 request is a 9 percent increase over 2015 levels. Here are the DOE programs named in the budget request:
Money to support states exceeding the minimum requirements that were established in the Clean Power Plan $2. 72 billion for energy efficiency $325 million for the Advanced Research Projects Agency,
$60 billion over ten years for students to attend community college for free $478 billion over six years for surface transportation improvements $146 billion for research and development $5 billion in start-up funding
That valuable data in states like California that are demanding that their utilities start to incorporate the growth of distributed energy into their long-range grid investment plans.

Who Got What in Energy efficiency Venture capital? So it may seem like energy storage is the big star these days.
But it turns out that there were just as many energy efficiency venture capital deals last year, according to a new report.
along with green/environmental software for venture capital deals in 2014. The three each captured 8 percent of the greentech VC pie, according to the data company report, he 2014 U s. Venture capital Year in Review.
Internet software/services came in second place with 13 percent. And what was the big winner?
Beyond air quality and climate change mitigation benefits, California abundant renewable energy resources provide energy with zero marginal cost and zero fuel price volatility to our citizens,
demonstrating the limitations to system economics given today substantial supply of inflexible generation participating in the energy market.
Nowhere is investor interest in energy solutions more apparent than at the grid edge. 2014 saw a dramatic increase in venture capital and private equity investment in companies developing innovative solutions, particularly energy storage, demand
Though the amount of investment hasn returned quite to the peak reached in 2011, the number of deals and the number of vendors receiving funding is higher than ever.
which startups have received the most funding since 2010. It true that money doesn guarantee the success of a grid-edge startup.
After all Better Place raised around $850 million before closing up shop. But strong support from the VC community is an indication of a technology
But the company has combined investment and grants in official press releases, so that total is a ceiling rather than an exact figure.
though the company has been officially silent on recent investments (leaving reporters to sift through emails from fund managers).
Beyond the outliers, many of the 50-some startups developing grid storage technologies have closed on significant financing.
which requires project financing to allow the two companies to offer energy storage systems at no upfront cost.

A word of caution It important to note that analyzing VC investments is an imperfect science.
Other companies avoid VC investment entirely to insulate themselves from the expectations of outside investors.

#Can $4b in Clean energy Investment Come Fast enough? The White house announced more than $4 billion in commitments at a Clean energy Investment Summit on Tuesday to scale up clean energy companies and address climate change. here not a single reason...
that by 2020 renewables can be 20 percent of U s. energy, said Vice president Joe Biden. nd that the floor, not the ceiling.
One of the reasons that hasn happened yet is because of funding limitations facing early-stage cleantech companies.
The money will come from philanthropists, universities, big banks and environmental nonprofits. The committed funds are more than double the goal of the President Obama Clean energy Investment Initiative that was announced earlier this year.
One of the key efforts will be to bring philanthropy to early-stage, high-risk and high-impact cleantech investments. nly with the private sector can we even mostly realize the possibility of this energy transformation,
said Biden. ur energy future is in cleaner, cheaper renewable energy. A new organization, PRIME Coalition, is committed to helping foundations manage the complex pipeline process of vetting candidates and helping to lower transaction costs for foundations,
as well as ensuring theye adhering to the proper tax rules. Along with PRIME, Cleantech Syndicate announced on Tuesday a merger with CREO Network to become CREO Syndicate.
The Treasury department is helping the effort to bring foundations into the fold by issuing new guidance around mission-related investments.
The Treasury will also initialize rules around program-related investments (PRIS), a type of investment via which charities can fund for-profit companies that are addressing environmental issues.
Just throwing charitable money at promising startups won be enough, however. Arunas Chesonis a telecom entrepreneur with a family foundation, gives away millions each year to projects in the energy sector.
He has found that many early-stage companies he encounters are associated facing difficulties with bringing disruptive technologies to entrenched industries. t not a valley of death;
and the disruption already happening to the electric utility industry could make the current juncture a particularly advantageous time for investors
less than 1 percent of utility revenue goes to R&d. hope there never a point of no return, Biden said of rising temperatures due to climate change,
a group of institutional investors has committed already more than $1 billion for igh-potential companies and projects for commercial investment that could also produce impactful and profitable solutions to climate change.
The second-largest investor to commit funds is the New zealand Superannuation fund. f we are to achieve our climate goals,
it is imperative that we find ways to incentivize the global capital markets to invest in clean energy,
Energy secretary Ernest Moniz said in a statement. here a moral argument, there a climate change argument,
and there an economic argument, Biden said of investing in low-carbon technologies. here a new reality.
