Scientists identify synthetic mini-antibody to combat Covid-19

In breakthrough research, scientists have identified synthetic mini-antibodies to combat Covid-19. The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells depends on interactions between the viral spike protein and the human cell surface protein ACE2. To enable the virus to hook onto the cell surface, the spike protein binds ACE2 using three finger-like protrusions, called the receptor-binding […]
