Abstract excerpt
A potential therapeutic strategy for neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 infection is engineering high-affinity soluble ACE2 decoy proteins to compete for binding to the viral spike (S) protein. Previously, a deep mutational scan of ACE2 was performed and has led to the identification of a triple mutant variant, named sACE22.v.2.4, that exhibits subnanomolar affinity to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of S. Using a...
