Xeno-nucleic Acid (XNA) 2’-Fluoro-Arabino Nucleic Acid (FANA) Aptamers to the Receptor Binding Domain of SARS-CoV-2 S Protein Block ACE2 Binding
2021-07-14
Abstract excerpt
The causative agent of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, gains access to cells through interactions of the receptor binding domain (RBD) on the viral S protein with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the surface of human host cells. Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) was used to generate aptamers (nucleic acids selected for high binding affinity to a target) to the RBD made from 2’-fluoro...
