    Snippet: Previous studies by our laboratory have shown release of copper ionic species to be essential to the efficacy of copper surfaces in killing bacteria and inactivating norovirus (26) . Using chelators, we have determined that Cu(I) and Cu(II) are also essential for inactivation of coronaviruses. On brass (70% copper), BCS, the chelator for Cu(I), was still protective at 2 h of contact, suggesting that inactivation may have been due to Cu(II) immedi.....
    Document: Previous studies by our laboratory have shown release of copper ionic species to be essential to the efficacy of copper surfaces in killing bacteria and inactivating norovirus (26) . Using chelators, we have determined that Cu(I) and Cu(II) are also essential for inactivation of coronaviruses. On brass (70% copper), BCS, the chelator for Cu(I), was still protective at 2 h of contact, suggesting that inactivation may have been due to Cu(II) immediately and to Cu(I) in the long term. Copper ions have been shown to directly inhibit proteases by reacting with surface cysteine and to inflict damage to the viral genome in HIV and herpes simplex virus (40, 41) .
