Predicted structural mimicry of spike receptor-binding motifs from highly pathogenic human coronaviruses
2021-04-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Viruses often encode proteins that mimic host proteins in order to facilitate infection. Little work has been done to understand the potential mimicry of the SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV spike proteins, particularly the receptor-binding motifs, which could be important in determining tropism of the virus. Here, we use structural bioinformatics software to characterize potential mimicry of t...
