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 substantial. These minibinders were able to reduce the viral burden of SARS-CoV-2 in mice ^[2]. These proteins were de novo (from scratch) designs to mimic the ACE2 helix, but
