Chemical and Synthetic Biology Research Theme Seminar
Speaker: Professor Jim Naismith, University of Oxford / Director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute
Title: Neutralising Spike with nanobodies; structural and biophysical analysis
Abstract: The Franklin has made progress in developing high throughput technologies to block covid19 infection with nanobodies. I will review the work to date, emphasising the role physical organic chemistry plays in measuring and understanding affinity. I will show how these insights might be used to obtain improvements in affinity.
