Introduction
What are Minibinders?
Minibinders are small proteins that bind to the spike protein that is involved in the viral infection pathway for SARS-CoV-2. These mini proteins target the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2 receptor as an effective therapeutic strategy [1]. The demand for SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics is high, and the promise these minibinders have shown is great.
