Spike S1 (B.1.1.7; Alpha Variant) (SARS-CoV-2) : ACE2 TR-FRET Assay Kit

The pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) . As a first step of the viral replication strategy, the virus attaches to the host cell surface before entering the cell. The Spike protein binds to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor found on the surface of type I and II pneumocytes, endothelial cells, and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. Drugs targeting the interaction between the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and human ACE2 may offer some protection against the viral infection.SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.1.7), also known as Alpha variant, was first identified in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2020. This variant contains mutations N501Y, A570D, D614G, P681H, and deletions 69-70HV and 144Y in the Spike protein that may lead to higher transmissibility and infectivity.
