Abstract

Plastic Antibodies for Selective Binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike In article number 2101925, Alex D. Batista, Beatriz Fresco-Cala, and co-workers design and synthesize the very first silane-based silica core/shell molecularly imprinted polymers using an epitope peptide from SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as a template, which can act as a synthetic angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2) and bind to SARS-CoV-2. The interactions between the epitope template and the organosilane monomers are predicted via molecular docking simulations.
