[ad_1] Researchers studied the effect of several SARS-CoV-2 mutations on its binding to the human angiotensin 2 converting enzyme using molecular dynamics simulations. They found that the N439K mutant binds more strongly than the original Wuhan strain, which could have implications for therapies such as monoclonal antibodies. The 2019 coronavirus …

[ad_1] The researchers found that nafamostat mesylate, when injected into the nasal cavity of Syrian hamsters, can reduce the initial viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in the nose. However, this effect was temporary and further tests are needed to determine clinically significant effects. The hunt group results are available on the …

[ad_1] Using a number of different monoclonal antibodies, the researchers determined several mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that leads to resistance. Understanding these resistant mutations is important for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, infects host cells …
