Targeting Viral Surface Glycoprotei ns
Viral surface glycopro teins provide a powerful way to train the immune system to be prepared for a given virus. Elegant studies have demonstrated how stabilization of these metastable proteins can be undertaken. However, efforts were largely perfo rmed manually and step-by-step. We have incorporated several of these molec ular strategies into systematic automation protocols to stabilize viral sur face proteins while paying close attention to their molecular functionaliti es. Using our approach, we have generated a stabilized version for instance for fusion protein of RSV, rivaling the clinical candidate. We can provide further preliminary data on human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and SARS CoV-2 as model systems which both are otherwise highly instable. We will also short ly discuss potential therapeutic approaches for treatment of viral infectio ns through targeting of intermediate states, as well as a new approach for the generation of protein-protein interactions using neural networks.

Viral surface glycoproteins provide a powerful way to train the immun e system to be prepared for a given virus. Elegant studies have demonstrate d how stabilization of these metastable proteins can be undertaken. However , efforts were largely performed manually and step-by-step. We have incorpo rated several of these molecular strategies into systematic automation prot ocols to stabilize viral surface proteins while paying close attention to t heir molecular functionalities. Using our approach, we have generated a sta bilized version for instance for fusion protein of RSV, rivaling the clinic al candidate. We can provide further preliminary data on human metapneumovi rus (hMPV) and SARS CoV-2 as model systems which both are otherwise highly instable. We will also shortly discuss potential therapeutic approaches for treatment of viral infections through targeting of intermediate states, as well as a new approach for the generation of protein-protein interactions using neural networks.
