South Korean Researchers Develop Neutralizer for New COVID-19 StrainsCOVID-19 has brought disaster to the world, millions have died, and the virus is still mutating. A medical research group in South Korea recently announced that it has developed an agent that neutralizes the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the more the virus mutates, the better the neutralizing effect of the agent.
A research team led by Prof. Seung Soo Oh from the Department of Advanced Materials Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea said on Oct. 27 that they had developed a neutralizer to deal with the mutations of COVID-19.
The team says the reason the COVID virus continues to mutate and become more infectious is that it has a more powerful interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (hACE2) receptor, a cell-surface protein, by constantly changing its structure. A fatal flaw of existing therapeutic and neutralizer technologies is that it is difficult to respond promptly to the emerging mutations....
