A high-throughput pipeline for design and selection of peptides targeting the SARS-Cov-2 Spike protein

Abstract Rapid design, screening, and characterization of biorecognition elements (BREs) is essential for the development of diagnostic tests and antiviral therapeutics needed to combat the spread of viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To address this need,...
