Glycosaminoglycans induce conformational change in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 Receptor Binding Domain

2020-04-29

Abstract excerpt

The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) class of polysaccharides are utilised by a plethora of microbial pathogens as receptors for adherence and invasion. The GAG heparin prevents infection by a range of viruses when added exogenously, including the S-associated coronavirus strain HSR1 and more recently we have demonstrated that heparin can block cellular invasion by SARS-CoV-2. Heparin has found widespread clinical use as a...
