A peptide derived from the SARS-CoV-2 S2-protein heptad-repeat-2 inhibits pseudoviral fusion at micromolar concentrations: Role of palmitic acid conjugation
N. Düzgünes, Z. Tao, Y. Zhang, K. Krajewski
The paper tests a palmitoylated HR2-derived peptide's ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviral fusion and finds it reduces fusion activity by 76% at 10 M.
