Structural conservation among variants of the SARS-CoV-2 spike postfusion bundle
1 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) challenge currently available COVID-19 vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies due to structural and dynamic changes of the viral spike glycoprotein (S). The heptad repeat 1 (HR1) and heptad repeat 2 (HR2) domains of S drive virus–host membrane fusion by assembly into a six-helix bundle, resulting in delivery of viral RNA into the host...
