Project Overview
The study intends to utilise the virus's high binding affinity to substances such as Ribavirin to detect its presence in salivary samples. It aims to attach these substances to structured nanoparticles in such a manner so as to undergo either a conformational change or a surface functionality change when the virus attaches to it.
