NMR-Based Analysis of Nanobodies to SARS-CoV-2 Nsp9 Reveals a Possible Antiviral Strategy Against COVID-19
Following the entry into the host cell, SARS-CoV-2 replication is mediated by the replication transcription complex (RTC) assembled through a number of nonstructural proteins (Nsps). A monomeric form of Nsp9 is particularly important for RTC assembly and function. In the present study, 136 unique nanobodies targeting Nsp9 are generated. Several nanobodies belonging to different B-cell lineages are expressed, purified, and characterized. Results from immunoassays applied to purified...

Identification of conformation-selective nanobodies against the membrane protein insertase BamA by an integrated structural biology approach
Abstract
The insertase BamA is an essential protein of the bacterial outer membrane. Its 16-stranded transmembrane β-barrel contains a lateral gate as a key functional element. This gate is formed by the C-terminal half of the last β-strand. The BamA barrel was previously found to sample different conformations in aqueous solution, as well as different gate-open, gate-closed, and collapsed conformations in...
