An inimitable proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin-9 (PCSK9) cleavage site VFAQ on Spike protein along with furin cleavage site makes SARS-CoV-2 unique

2023-05-05

Abstract excerpt

A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that affects humans has been discovered in Wuhan, China, in 2019. Its genome has been sequenced, and the genetic data was quickly made public. We discovered a novel proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin-9 (PCSK9) cleavage site in the Spike protein of the 2019-nCoV. The recent research also demonstrates that the previo...
