This Webinar will provide an insight into the role of surface polysaccharides (GAGs) in the binding of SARS-CoV-2 and its implication on developing GAG-based antivirals by Dr Mark Skidmore. In addtion, Dr Aurore Labourel will provide a fascinating insight into the discovery of new LPMOs which has played a crucial role in the energy industry by converting agricultural residues to biofuels.
