Recently, a team of researchers led by David Baker, who is the professor of biochemistry and director of the Institute for Protein Design at UW Medicine, have created a new protein-based biosensor that will detect the Coronavirus.
Key Facts
-
The protein-based biosensors will detect the proteins that make up the pandemic coronavirus.
-
It would also help in detecting the antibodies against it.
-
The biosensor will glow when mixed with components of the virus or specific COVID-19
-
Thus, it will enable the faster and more widespread testing.
