The design of new drugs, molecules, nano-, and microstructures for targeted applications is of high impact in Life Sciences. In this context, and mainly for the Corona Virus Pandemic, a fast response is highly required. Thus, the developments of novel approaches are urgently required, seeking improved and highly sensitive solutions in the field of biodetection, in addition to new treatments of SARS CoV-2. This short communication discusses the following topics: i) the importance of non-covalent interactions from antibody-antigen recognition events; ii) the genomic factor; and iii) the use of non-covalent interactions in different optical detection systems and lab-on particles. Moreover, we analyzed the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of new treatments in progress and the development of new vaccines. We also discuss the improvement of innovative multifunctional nanophotonic approaches aimed at SARS CoV-2 detection and potential targeted treatments.
