    Science and Technology Daily News (Reporter Liu Xia) According to a recent report by the Physicist Organization Network, Canadian researchers have developed a compound that can neutralize the new coronavirus and its mutant strains-D-peptide, which can neutralize the virus and prevent its infection Human cells grown in the laboratory


    These compounds are called mirror peptides and possess unique chemical properties, making them suitable for the development of low-cost antiviral therapies


    Both peptides and proteins are composed of amino acids and have similar "characters"


    But the fly in the ointment is that in the human body, peptides are rapidly degraded by certain enzymes


    The prospect of D-peptide attracted the attention of postdoctoral researcher Pedro Valente, who realized that they could use their tools to create antiviral drugs against new coronary pneumonia


    Jin said that, more importantly, these peptides have the same effect on the alpha, beta, and gamma mutant strains of the new coronavirus
