Assessing Differential Binding of Aggregation-Induced Emission-Based Luminogens to Host Interacting Surface Proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza Virus–An in silico Approach

Early detection of asymptomatic cases through mass screening is essential to constrain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission. However, the existing diagnostic strategies are either resource-intensive, time-consuming, or less sensitive, which limits their use in the development of rapi...
