Nanoparticle Completely Eradicates Hepatitis C Virus
Researchers at the University of Florida (UF) have developed a nanoparticle that has shown 100 percent effectiveness in eradicating the hepatitis C virus in laboratory testing.
The nanoparticle, dubbed a nanozyme, consists of a backbone made from gold nanoparticles and a surface with two biological components. One biological component is an enzyme that attacks and destroys the mRNA, which provides the recipe for duplicating the protein that causes the disease. The other biological part is the navigator, if you will. It is a DNA oligonucleotide that identifies the disease-related protein and sends the enzyme on course to destroy it.

Great info
if it connects to the virus it could also connect to what the virus connects on a human.. And there you dont know its effects… That's the difference between test tube and rat model…. Let the rats in!
Looks nasty too – Brave new world 🙂
