Abstract

Seven amino acid sequences of antibody mimetics molecules, monobodies, capable of interacting with the nucleocapsid protein of the SARS-CoV virus, were taken from the literature. Nucleotide sequences of monobody genes were obtained by gene synthesis, which were expressed in E. coli and isolated using Ni-NTA chromatography. It was shown by thermophoresis that three of the seven selected antibody-like molecules can interact with high affinity (dissociation constant of tens of nM) with the nucleocapsid protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For the remaining four monobodies, only low affinity binding with a dissociation constant of several μM was found.
