Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is heavily glycosylated. These post-translational modifications aid in interactions with human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), assist in antibody evasion, and help facilitate protein dynamics. However, the exact role glycans play in maintaining the protein structure and conformation is not fully understood. In this study, we elucidated the structural function of these...
