The Distal Polybasic Cleavage Sites of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Enhance Spike Protein-ACE2 Binding

2020-06-10

Abstract excerpt

The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein plays a crucial role in binding the human cell receptor ACE2 that is required for viral entry. Many studies have been conducted to target the structures of RBD-ACE2 binding and to design RBD-targeting vaccines and drugs. Nevertheless, mutations distal from the SARS-CoV-2 RBD also impact its transmissibility and antibody can target non-RBD regions, s...
