Aerosol capture and coronavirus spike protein deactivation by enzyme functionalized antiviral membranes

Aerosol capture and coronavirus spike protein deactivation by enzyme functionalized antiviral membranes

The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of materials that block airborne virus transmission. Here, a nanostructured membrane is shown to filter coronavirus-sized particles, while the membrane surface incorporates enzymes that denature the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within 30 s.
