Bio-Rad, PIP054, SARS-CoV-2 Nucleoprotein

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein is a purified preparation of the SARS CoV-2 nucleoprotein. The nucleoprotein (N) is the most abundant viral protein in SARS-CoV-infected cells ( Chang et al . 2014 ). It is one of the four structural proteins essential for viral assembly, alongside the spike (S), envelope (E), and membrane (M) proteins ( Bartlam et al . 2005 ). The nucleoprotein encloses the viral genome; during assembly of the virion, nucleoprotein binds to viral RNA and forms the helical nucleocapsid and appears to play an important role in enhancing viral transcription ( Zhu et al . 2004 ).
