Deskripsi

RNA viruses have been responsible for large-scale epidemics and pandemics throughout the last few centuries. Here, the authors show the design, synthesis and screening of artificial RNA endonuclease XNAzymes capable of cleaving genomic SARS-CoV-2 RNA and self-assembling into enzymatic nanostructures inhibiting cellular viral replication.
