Heparan Sulfate Oligosaccharides Modulate SARS-CoV-2 Spike-Host Recognition.
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a key host-factor mediator of SARS-CoV-2 attachment and an attractive target for antiviral intervention, yet the synthesis of structurally defined HS oligosaccharides remains challenging. Here, we show that a defined HS hexasaccharide, heparin-dp6, efficiently inhibits RBD-ACE2 binding and exhib...
