Structural Comparison of the SARS CoV 2 Spike Protein Relative to Other Human-Infecting Coronaviruses
14 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Coronaviruses (CoV) are enveloped positive-stranded RNA viruses and, historically, there are seven known human-infecting CoVs with varying degrees of virulence. CoV attachment to the host is the first step of viral pathogenesis and mainly relies on the spike glycoprotein located on the viral surface. Among the human-infecting CoVs, only the infection of SARS CoV 2 (SARS2) among humans resulted to a pandemic which...
