    Snippet: Studying SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein structure and behaviour in solution is a vital step for the development of effective therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2. Here, the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD to bind pharmaceutical heparin has been studied using spectroscopic techniques in concert with molecular modelling. The data show that SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD binds to heparin and that upon binding, a significant structural change is induced. Moreover, moieties.....
    Document: Studying SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein structure and behaviour in solution is a vital step for the development of effective therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2. Here, the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD to bind pharmaceutical heparin has been studied using spectroscopic techniques in concert with molecular modelling. The data show that SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD binds to heparin and that upon binding, a significant structural change is induced. Moreover, moieties of basic amino acid residues, known to constitute heparin binding domains, are solvent accessible on the SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD surface and form a continuous patch that is suitable for heparin binding.
