Abstract: Disclosed is a nucleic acid test kit, comprising a Cpf1 test system, said Cpf1 test system comprising: a guide RNA, a Cpf1 protein, a nucleic acid probe, and a manganese ion-containing solution. Also provided is a mutated Cpf1 protein and a nucleic acid test kit containing the mutated Cpf1 protein. Also provided is a crRNA for testing coronavirus nucleic acid, and a nucleic acid test kit containing said crRNA. Further provided is a use of the nucleic acid test kit, and a test method for the nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid test kit, mutated Cpf1 protein, or crRNA of the present invention are used for nucleic acid testing (for example, testing the nucleic acid of a SARS-related coronavirus or MERS coronavirus), the signal strength during the test is substantially enhanced, and the test time is thus reduced and the test efficiency improved.

Abstract: Provided are amino acid sequences capable of binding to and inhibiting a Cas protein's ability to bind to a nucleic acid molecule, thereby inhibiting the Cas protein's function in genome editing. Such Cas protein inhibitors, which can be comprised of a major coat protein (G8P), an extracellular region of the G8P (G8PEX), or a biological equivalent, are useful in improving the specificity of Cas protein-based genome editing procedures.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides human antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein's receptor binding domain (RBD). The antibodies and fragments have strong affinity and potent neutralization ability against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and various mutant forms. Also provided are trimeric antibodies which have further enhanced neutralization capabilities. The antibodies and fragments thus may be used for preventing or treating SARS-CoV-2 viral infection or detecting the presence of the virus in a sample.

Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a zinc finger protein-superoxide dismutase fusion protein with a cell membrane penetrating property, and a preparation and an application thereof. A domain of the fusion protein described in the present disclosure comprises a zinc finger protein and superoxide dismutase, and the fusion protein can enter cells to exert an antioxidant activity.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of labeling organic compounds without depending on any functional group of the compound. In some embodiments, provided are bifunctional linkers useful in the methods.
