Only palliative therapeutic options exist for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease; no new successful drug candidates have been developed in over 15 years. The widely used clinical anticoagulant heparin has been reported to exert beneficial effects t...

Glycosaminoglycans induce conformational change in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 Receptor Binding Domain (2020)
Journal Article
Mycroft-West, C. J., Su, D., Li, Y., Guimond, S. E., Rudd, T. R., Elli, S., …Skidmore, M. A. Glycosaminoglycans induce conformational change in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 Receptor Binding Domain. bioRxiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.29.068767

The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) class of polysaccharides are utilised by a plethora of microbial pathogens as receptors for adherence and invasion. The GAG heparin prevents infection by a range of viruses when added exogenously, including the S-associate...
