Lead-author Dr. Hristo L. Svilenov and Prof. Dr. Johannes Buchner, chair of biotechnology at the Technical University of Munich, with a structure of a dimeric ACE2-protein. The FYB207 fusion protein contains the part of the ACE2 protein that the virus needs to dock and part of the human immunoglobulin IgG4. By blocking the virus' spike proteins, FYB207 successfully prevents infection in cell culture experiments.
