A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to infect them, researchers report. Dubbed the NanoGripper, the nanorobotic hand also could be programmed to interact with other viruses or to recognize cell surface markers for targeted drug delivery, such as for cancer treatment.

Thomas M. Geiger, Radosław P. Nowak Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry , 2024 [link] Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are hetero-bifunctional molecules that remove disease-causing proteins through the means of targeted protein degradation (TPD). Since their proof-of-concept over 20 years ago, PROTACs emerged as new modality in drug discovery and chemical biology.
