Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein mediates infection of cells expressing angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). ACE2 is also the viral receptor of SARS-CoV (SARS-CoV-1), a related coronavirus that emerged in 2002-2003. Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus ) are presumed to be the original reservoir of both viruses, and a SARS-like coronavirus, RaTG1...
