Researchers synthesize peptoids at Berkeley Lab to combat viruses
Researchers Annelise E. Barron and Gill Diamond discovered peptoids, biomimetic molecules that could be used to fight viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
A team of researchers discovered that molecules called peptoids, which they synthesized at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or the Berkeley Lab, can be used to fight a variety of viruses.
Peptoids are biomimetic molecules, meaning that they mimic the body’s natural proteins but are themselves not natural, according to Annelise E. Barron, researcher and Stanford University bioengineering professor. Barron called the Molecular Foundry, a research facility of the Berkeley Lab where the peptoids were synthesized, “a really fantastic facility.”
