Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein with its mobile receptor-binding domain (RBD), binds to the human ACE2 receptor and thus facilitates virus entry through low-pH-endosomal pathways. The high degree of SARS-CoV-2 mutability has raised concern among scientists and medical professionals because it created doubt about the effectiveness of drugs and vaccinations designed specifically for COVID-19. In this study,...
