A team of scientists has recently studied the kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of interaction between human ACE2 and spike receptor-binding domains of different variants of SARS-CoV-2.
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a pandemic due to the high transmission and mortality rate of this virus. The world health and economic sectors have been severely affected by this deadly virus, exacerbated by the lack of sufficient efficient vaccines. The design of effective drug candidates and their rapid development is necessary to combat this virus. In this study, we selected 23 antimicrobial peptides from the literature and predicted their structure using PEP-FOLD 3.5. In addition, we docked them to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor...
Researchers test the durability of antibodies produced by a vaccine-induced full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and receptor-binding domain.
The heterologous ChAd/BNT combination confers better protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection than the homologous BNT/BNT combination in a real-world observational study of healthcare workers.
New vaccine candidate could be a cost-effective option against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants A multidisciplinary team of researchers is the first to show combining yeast-expression technology and a novel adjuvant formulation to produce a COVID-19 vaccine candidate is effective against SARS-COV-2 and promises to be easy to produce at large scale and cost-effective, important aspects for vaccinating people worldwide, especially in low- to middle-income countries. Results from the study, which applied lessons learned from the hepatitis b vaccine platform technology, are published online today in ...
