Adaptive Evolution of the Spike Protein in Coronaviruses
1 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Coronaviruses are single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses that can infect many mammal and avian species. The Spike (S) protein of coronaviruses binds to a receptor on the host cell surface to promote viral entry. The interactions between the S proteins of coronaviruses and receptors of host cells are extraordinarily complex, with coronaviruses from different genera being able to recognize the same receptor...
