  • Publication number: 20230406886
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coronavirus infectious disease COVID-19 therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, CTP delta, and uses thereof. Compared to a known peptide (P6) which mimics the binding site of a receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the therapeutic proteins CTP alpha, CTP beta, CTP gamma, and CTP delta according to the present invention comprise a novel part obtained by adding a novel sequence of amino acids, wherein the interaction of atoms constituting the amino acids has been fundamentally designed in order to strengthen the binding of SARS-CoV2 to a novel epitope of RBD.

  • Publication number: 20230303627
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide for treatment of the corona virus infection COVID-19 and a use thereof. In order to make the binding to the new epitope of SARS-CoV2 RBD stronger compared to the peptide (P6) simulating the conventionally known binding site between SARS-CoV RBD and ACE2, the peptide of the present invention includes a new portion added with a novel amino acid sequence fundamentally designed for interaction in the dimension of atoms consisting of the amino acids. Suggested in the present invention is a novel design of a peptide having higher binding affinity than conventionally known peptides, wherein an expanded peptide is creatively designed to additionally interact with charged amino acids of D420 and K458, located at the rear side of the known binding boundary between RBD and hACE2. The peptide of the present invention exhibits high possibility as a therapeutic agent for COVID-19.
