Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 an outbreak of a novel corona virus originating from Wuhan, China in December 2019 has now spread across the entire world and has been declared a pandemic by WHO. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a receptor protein that interacts with the spike glycoprotein of the host to facilitate the entry of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) hence causing the disease (COVID-19). Our experimental design is based on...
