New method identifies antibody-like proteins with diagnostic and therapeutic potential for SARS-CoV-2

Scienmag

Antibody-like proteins that capture and neutralize SARS-CoV-2 Scientists have used a new high-speed, in vitro selection method to isolate 9 antibody-like proteins (ALPs) that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 virus – 4 of which also exhibited neutralizing activity – within 4 days, according to a new study.

How Nanobodies from Cormac the Llama Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

One nanobody in particular, called NIH-CoVnb-112, was shown to be able to prevent COVID-19 infection from the novel coronavirus by targeting both the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2, as well as the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor that it binds to on human cells.

Are All Excipients Truly Inert? Maybe Not, Suggests New Study

XTalks

For decades, formulation scientists have relied on the assumption that common pharmaceutical excipients are biologically inert. For example, Advil tablets contain 18 inactive ingredients alongside ibuprofen, the drug’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). But just how inert are these excipients?
