A team of scientists from the USA recently developed a recombinant “Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) Triple Decoy” that can trap severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and prevent its propagation inside the host cell. They have reported that the decoy has high affinity for different mutants of the spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) known to significantly increase viral transmission. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.
