European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)'s video: International collaboration identifies a mini-antibody to combat COVID-19

Researchers from EMBL Hamburg, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) in Hamburg teamed up to fight COVID-19. By screening hundreds of synthetic mini-antibodies called sybodies, the scientists identified one that might stop SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells. Combining expertise in working with sybodies and in the use of cryo-electron microscopy enabled the team to rapidly identify a potential therapeutic candidate.
