Human ACE2 peptide-mimics block SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary cells infection
Karoyan et al. present a method to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 by means of a peptide-mimic approach. They design a series of peptides mimicking the N-terminal helix of hACE2 protein and their best peptide-mimic blocks SARS-CoV-2 human pulmonary cell infection with an IC50 in nanomolar range.
